The diencephalon of the opossum in stereotaxic coordinates. II. The ventral thalamus and hypothalamus

Abstract This is a second paper on the diencephalon of the opossum (see Oswaldo‐Cruz and Rocha‐Miranda, '67), providing information on cell type and nuclear configuration of the ventral thalamus and hypothalamus (including area preoptica). Stereotaxic coordinates, resulting from a statistical survey, are given.
