    THE DIENCEPHALON,BRAINSTEM AND CEREBELLUM

    The diencephalon (interbrain) is a region at the core of the brain and is surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres. It is the connection between the brain stem and the cerebrum and consists of three gray matter structures; the thalamus, the hypothalamus and the epithalamus (see figure below).
