On the ventral surface of the brain, you can observe the optic nerves and chiasma, the pituitary gland, and the mammillary bodies. These externally visible structures form the floor of the <u>diencephalon.</u>
<h3></h3><h3>Where is the exact location of the diencephalon?</h3>
Diencephalon is one part that is located behind the forebrain, which part includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and also the epithalamus.
The diencephalon itself is one of the main parts of our brain. Its location is quite hidden and its size is quite small, the exact location of this diencephalon is between the hemispheres of the brain and just above the brainstem.
Despite its small size, the diencephalon plays an important role in brain health and body function because the diencephalon is the part of the brain that sends signals and cooperates with our bodies.
Some of the things controlled by the diencephalon, they are senses (hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling), body movements, motor functions, homeostasis, touch perception and so on.
