The human basal forebrain. Part I. An overview

In this chapter, the surface topography of the human basal forebrain is discussed and its underlying structures introduced. The authors provide a mini-atlas of the human forebrain, which extends from the orbitofrontal cortex slightly behind the point where the olfactory stalk attaches to the orbital surface to a level through the posterior end of the amygdaloid body and the rostral subthalamic nucleus.
