diencephalon
diencephalon The most anterior region of the
brain stem, part of the
prosencephalon. In
amniotes, the diencephalon forms a major relay between the sensory areas and higher brain centres via the
thalamus. Optic nerves develop from this region. The base of the diencephalon forms the
hypothalamus and a ventral outgrowth forms the
pituitary gland. The diencephalon is thought to have evolved from the median photoreceptor of
plesiomorphic vertebrates.
