[Structure and evaluation of the paramedian side of thalamus]

The adhaesio interthalamica in humans as apposed to animals is formed only by the nucleus reuniens which is of very variable size and which is conspicuously small if there is no adhaesio interthalamica. It is larger than in animals and is probably of special importance for humans. Its fliber connections have not been elucidadat and its effects on other parts of the brain cannot be determined with certainty. As the adhaesio interthalamica may be enlarged under certain condition-and is frequently preserved in sensecence, so it is probably of special significance for humans. Similar findings have been obtained for the adacent paramedian part of the thalamus the cells of which are irregularly distributed.
