Purpose: To study the anatomy and embryology of the lamina rostralis, and to determine whether the rostrum is, as frequently stated, the last section of the corpus callosum to develop.
Methods: The rostrum was analyzed in dissected adult brains and on MR studies in 300 patients with a normal corpus callosum and in 84 patients with a hypogenetic corpus callosum. MR images of intact fetuses and photographs of dissected fetal and adult vertebrate brains were also analyzed.
Results: The rostrum extends from the genu to the upper end of the lamina terminalis and consists of two sections: a thick beaked segment and the thin lamina rostralis, which blends posteriorly with the lamina terminalis. During fetal development the lamina rostralis changes from a semivertical to a semihorizontal orientation. Many hypogenetic corpora callosi have a semivertical lamina rostralis. A rudimentary beaked segment can be present without a normal genu.
Conclusions: The rostrum is not the last segment of the corpus callosum to develop. Rather, the lamina rostralis segment of the fetal rostrum is already present before the genu and splenium develop. Additionally, the beaked segment of the rostrum develops concurrently with maturation of the genu.

Rupturing Anterior Communicating Artery Aneurysm during Computed Tomography Angiography: Three-Dimensional Visualization of Bleeding into the Septum Pellucidum and the Lateral Ventricle.

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is commonly used in setting of subarachnoid hemorrhage, but imaging features of aneurysm rupturing taking place at the time of scanning has rarely been described. The author reports a case of actively rebleeding aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery with intraventricular extravasation on the hyperacute CTA imaging. The rebleeding route, not into the third ventricle but into the lateral ventricles, can be visualized by real-time three-dimensional CT pictures.

Intraventricular hemorrhage is common after the rupture of anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms, although the anatomical pathway has not been described. Knowledge of the mechanism of hemorrhage may enhance understanding of its prognosis. Using CT angiography, the authors analyzed this pathway in 2 cases of ACoA aneurysm rupture associated with intraventricular hemorrhage.

Connections of the thalamo-hyperstriatal system of hatchling chicks were investigated using multiple injections of cholera toxin B subunit (CTb) in the wulst. In the diencephalon, cells with CTb-like immunoreactivity (CTb-LI) were seen bilaterally in n. dorsolateralis anterior thalami, pars lateralis dorsalis and ventralis, n.

Avian somatosensory system: II. Ascending projections of the dorsal column and external cuneate nuclei in the pigeon.
J Comp Neurol

Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
The ascending projections of the dorsal column and external cuneate nuclei (DCN/CuE) in the pigeon were investigated in anterograde tracing experiments by using autoradiography or wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). The results show that the majority of ascending projections decussate via internal arcuate fibers to form a contralateral medial lemniscus which ascends in a ventral position. In the brainstem, terminal fields were observed in the ventral lamella of the inferior olive (OI), the parabrachial nuclei (PB) of the dorsolateral pons, the intercollicular nucleus (ICo) of the midbrain, and the nucleus pretectalis diffusus (PD).
