biomedicalephemera:

Cross section of brain at third ventricle.
Shows the pineal gland, medulla, thalamus, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum, optic chiasma, and cerebellum. I love the term for the anterior lobe of the cerebellum used here…”l’arbre de vie”. Literally translated, it means “the tree of life”.
Traite de la Cephalotomie, ou Description Anatomique. Compiled by chief surgeon at Avignon. Published by Francois Gerard, 1748.
