Horizontal section of the brain

This tutorial provides an in-depth exploration of the horizontal sections of the brain, focusing on the orientation and structural anatomy of brain slices. It covers the anterior, midline, posterior, and lateral brain structures, including the lateral ventricles, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, thalamus, cerebellum, and more. The tutorial also discusses the distinction between gray and white matter, the role of the corpus striatum in motor regulation, and the clinical significance of these structures, particularly in the context of stroke imaging.
