Posterior View 1. This view is somewhat more dorsal (top of head) than posterior (back of head). It shows clearly: the position of the third ventricle (its roof with choroid plexus has been removed) between the two thalami; the paired superior colliculi (part of the roof of the midbrain -- the inferior colliculi, barely visible, are not labeled); and the vermis (L. worm), the midline part of the cerebellum between the two cerebellar hemispheres.
