The Monkey Hindbrain
Now we are looking at a cross-section of the hindbrain of a monkey.
Can you tell what structure this is? Do you see the convoluted material that is dark purple? That is the cerebellum. What do you think is the round, off-white structure right below the cerebellum?
Yep, just as in the human hindbrain, it's the spinal cord.
Click on the button below to look at a slice of the forebrain of the monkey.
(If you want to see more pictures of the cerebellum and the spinal cord, go to this site:"Mammalian Brain Collections")
