The nucleus lentiformis, or nucleus lenticularis, constitutes a wedge-shaped mass,whose base is directed outward and the apex inward. It lies lateral and, at the sametime, ventral to the nucleus caudatus and thalamus, Separated from the latter by theinternal capsule. In front and ventrally, the lenticular nucleus is directly continuouswith the head of the nucleus caudatus. Dorsally, delicate gray stripes connect the twonuclei; hence the designation corpus striatum applied to the nuclei conjointly. Thenucleus lentiformis bounds the internal capsule laterally with its downward and inwardsloping medial surface. Its shghtly convex lateral surface is vertical and borders thecapsula externa, a thin white medullary lamella which is limited externally by a
