Talk:Septum pellucidum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
