forebrain in dogs

The most anterior region of the brain including both the telencephalon and diencephalon. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the forebrain is

The most anterior region of the brain including both the telencephalon and diencephalon. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the forebrain is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the forebrain connects to

The atlas records 36 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, brain and nervous system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the forebrain. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as FB and prosencephalon. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the forebrain?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the forebrain connect to?

Part of: anatomical entity, brain and nervous system.

Is the forebrain the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
