What is Prosencephalon?
{{Infobox brain | Name = Forebrain (Prosencephalon) | Latin = | Image = EmbryonicBrain.svg | Caption = Diagram depicting the main subdivisions of the embryonic vertebrate brain. These regions will later differentiate into forebrain, [[midbrain]] and [[hindbrain]] structures. | Image2 = | Caption2 = | IsPartOf = | Components = | Artery = | Vein = }} The '''prosencephalon''' (or '''forebrain'''), the [[mesencephalon]] (midbrain), and [[rhombencephalon]] (hindbrain) are the three primary portions of the [[brain]] of [[vertebrate]]s. They develop very early during [[developmental biology|development]] of the [[central nervous system]]. When the embryonic prosencephalon fails to divide the brain into two lobes, it results in a condition known as [[holoprosencephaly]]. ==Other websites== {{Commons|brain}} * [http://www.sylvius.com Sylvius: 400+ structure neuroanatomical visual glossary; used by over half of U.S. medical schools] * [http://primate-brain.org High-Resolution Cytoarchitectural Primate Brain Atlases] {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Anatomy of the brain]]
