Corpus callosum, corpus callosum, contains fibers (commissural pathways) passing from one hemisphere to the other and connecting areas of the cortex belonging to the right and left hemispheres, with the aim of combining (coordinating) the functions of both halves of the brain into one whole. The corpus callosum has presented; It is a thick, specially curved plate consisting of transverse fibers (Fig. 139). The free upper surface of the corpus callosum, facing the longitudinal fissure of the cerebrum, has gray cover,indusium griseum, -4-thin plate of gray matter. On a sagittal section of the brain, one can distinguish the bends and parts of the corpus callosum: knee,genu, continuing downwards into beak,rostrum, and then in terminal (end) plate,lamina terminalis. The middle part is called trunk,truncus, corpus callosum.
Posteriorly the trunk continues into the thickened part - roller,splenlum. Transversely running fibers of the corpus callosum in each hemisphere of the cerebrum form radiance of the corpus callosum,radia- tio corporis callosi (Fig. 140). The fibers of the anterior part of the corpus callosum - the knee - bend around the anterior part of the longitudinal fissure of the brain and connect the cortex of the frontal lobes of the right and left hemispheres. The fibers of the central part of the corpus callosum - the trunk - connect the gray matter of the parietal and temporal lobes. The splenium contains fibers that cover the posterior part of the longitudinal fissure of the cerebrum, connecting the cortex of the occipital lobes.
Below the corpus callosum is vault, fornix (Fig. 141). The arch consists of two arched strands connected in its middle part by means of transversely running fibers - adhesions,comissura. The middle part of the arch is called bodies,cor pus; anteriorly and downward it continues into a rounded paired cord - pillar,columna, vault. The column of the fornix extends downward and somewhat laterally to the base of the brain, where it ends in the right and left mastoid bodies. Posteriorly the body of the arch continues into a paired flat cord - pedicle of the arch,crus fornicis, fused to the inferior surface of the corpus callosum. The paired crura of the fornix on the right and left sides gradually goes laterally and downwards, separates from the corpus callosum, flattens even more and fuses with one side of the hippocampus, forming bang romku hippocampus,fimbria hippocampi. The other part of the fimbria is free and faces the cavity of the lower horn of the lateral ventricle. The fimbria of the hippocampus ends in hook, thus connecting the temporal lobe of the telencephalon with the diencephalon.
In front of the fornix in the sagittal plane there is a transparent septum, septum pellucidum, which consists of two plates lying parallel to each other. Each plate of transparent septum,lamina septi pellucidi, stretched between the body and the column of the arch behind, the corpus callosum above, the knee and beak of the corpus callosum in front and below. Between the plates of the transparent septum there is a slit-like cavity of the transparent septum,cavum septi pellucidi, containing clear liquid. The lamina pellucida serves as the medial wall of the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle. In front of the pillars of the vault is anterior commissure,comissura rostralis [ anterior), fibers which are oriented transversely. On a sagittal section, the commissure has the shape of a small oval. The anterior part of the commissure is thin and connects the gray matter of the olfactory triangles of both hemispheres. The large posterior part contains nerve fibers connecting the cortex of the anteromedial temporal lobes.
The white matter of the hemisphere includes fibers that connect different parts of the cortex within one hemisphere (associative fibers) or the cortex with the subcortical centers of a given hemisphere. Along with short associative nerve fibers, large long bundles are distinguished in the white matter, which have a longitudinal orientation and connect widely separated areas of the cerebral cortex.
(fornix, PNA, BNA, JNA) a set of two curved cords of the white matter of the brain, located under the corpus callosum, connected in the middle part in the form of the body of the S., and diverging in front and behind, forming the columns and legs of the S., respectively.

And much smaller in size. The main part of the vault is two cords, which are configured as arches, which in their middle part are connected by commissura fornicis, that is, by a triangular shaped vault commissure. The medial part of the arch is its body (corpus), or body of the arch.
The nerve tracts of the brain that form the white matter are bundles of nerve fibers, the main purpose of which is to conduct impulses to the centers of the gray matter.
There are three types of tracts, or pathways of the central nervous system:
- associative;
- projection;
- commissural.
The functions of commissural pathways, also commonly called commissural pathways, are to connect the symmetrical nuclei and nerve centers of the cerebral hemispheres in order to ensure their interaction.
In order for one hemisphere of the brain to be fully connected to the other, commissural fibers form several types of adhesions, or commissures.
There are such adhesions as:
- the corpus callosum is the largest of them;
- commissure of the fornix (commissura fornicis);
- anterior commissure (commissura anterior).
Commissural nerve structures passing through the commissure of the fornix connect the right and left hippocampus, a paired structure of the brain located in the medial temporal regions of the cerebral hemispheres. The anatomical structure called the fornix (fornix) is the conduction system for the olfactory brain.
At the border of the telencephalon and its trunk there is a large collection of neural structures called the limbic system.
Its main functions include:
- regulation of organs - control of their motor skills;
- hormonal stimulation of the body;
- memory: long-term and short-term;
- formation of emotions, motor activity for their expression;
- modeling of sensory sensitivity.
The limbic system includes the olfactory brain, fornix, hippocampus, basal bodies, reticular formation and hypothalamus. The oldest subsection of the forebrain phylogenetically is the olfactory brain, consisting of a central and peripheral part. It is customary to phylogenetically assign the fornix together with the hypothalamus to the central part.
The body of the fornix has a continuation into the part of the brain located behind it in the form of a cord (also paired) of a flat section. This cord is called the crus of the fornix, or crus fornicis. The pedicle of the fornix fuses with the corpus callosum, or rather with its lower surface, and then descends down and sideways on both sides, departs from the corpus callosum, and goes around the thalamus.
Almost all the fibers forming the arch are longitudinal. The pedicle of the fornix is separated from the choroid plexuses. Then the pedicle of the fornix becomes completely flat, descends into the lower horn of the ventricle on each side, and also fuses on each side with one of the paired structures of the hippocampus, forming its fimbria.
VIXTURE OF THE BRAIN
