Examples

  • The little globule is surrounded by a thick capsule of glass-like transparency, the zona pellucida, or ovolemma pellucidum

    The Evolution of Man — Volume 1 Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel 1876

  • Muhammad Ali suffers from a cavum septum pellucidum and scarring of the basal ganglia.

    Sound and Fury Dave Kindred 2006

  • Moreover the experimental findings show that a circumscribed region of the diencephalon corresponds to it, namely the anterior part of the hypothalamus, the area praeoptica, and the septum pellucidum as well.

    Walter Hess - Nobel Lecture 1964

  • As the axons pass through the lower part of the septum pellucidum they are joined by other fibers whose cells receive impulses from the mitral cells.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • The most direct path, the tractus olfactomesencephalicus (basal olfactory bundle of Wallenburg), is supposed to arise from cells in the gray substance of the olfactory tract, the olfactory trigone, the anterior perforated substance and the adjoining part of the septum pellucidum.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • The Antero-medial Ganglionic Branches are a group of small arteries which arise at the commencement of the anterior cerebral artery; they pierce the anterior perforated substance and lamina terminalis, and supply the rostrum of the corpus callosum, the septum pellucidum, and the head of the caudate nucleus.

    VI. The Arteries. 3a. 4. The Internal Carotid Artery 1918

  • The axons from the gyrus cinguli pass into the cingulum, many of them bifurcate, the anterior branches together with the axons which run in that direction are traceable as far forward as the anterior part of the septum pellucidum and the anterior end of the corpus striatum, where some of them are incorporated with projection fibers passing toward the internal capsule.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • —The rhinencephalon comprises the olfactory lobe, the uncus, the subcallosal and supracallosal gyri, the fascia dentata hippocampi, the septum pellucidum, the fornix, and the hippocampus.

    IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon 1918

  • The trigonum olfactorium, anterior perforated substance and the adjoining part of the septum pellucidum are important primary olfactory centers, especially for olfactory reflexes; in these centers terminate many axons from the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb.

    IX. Neurology. 4e. Composition and Central Connections of the Spinal Nerves 1918

  • The fibers of the medial olfactory striæ terminate for the most part in the parolfactory area (Broca’s area), a few end in the subcallosal gyrus and a few in the anterior perforated substance and the adjoining part of the septum pellucidum.
