Talk:Septum pellucidum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I do not see the difference between the names given at the beggining of the page, except for capital P is that the reason for "also named"?

I believe this article should be moved to "Septum pellucidum". The information in this substub is slightly inaccurate. While the two cerebral hemispheres are largely separate, the corpus callosum is a region where nerve fibers cross between the two hemispheres. As such, there is and can be no dividing structure in it. An extension of dura mater, called the falx cerebri, separates the anterior (upper) portions of the cerebral hemispheres; however, this structure ends just above the corpus callosum (to allow the fibers to cross). Just below the corpus callosum, there exist two fluid-filled spaces called the lateral ventricles; they are separated by a thin membrane called the septum pellucidum. This is the only structure which I can think of to which the original stub would be referring. — Knowledge Seeker 08:26, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"...and inferiorly (below) to the corpus callosum" This is clearly incorrect: the corpus cannot be below the septum.
The following seems like a contradiction: "The septum pellucidum actually consists of two layers or laminae of both white and gray matter" "...the septum pellucidum consists of connective tissue, not of neurones."
Additionally it seems a bit strange that given that the "septum pellucidum is often confused with the medial septum" to have a redirect from medial septum that takes you back to this page. StripeyBadger (talk) 11:51, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
