The structure of the diencephalon in the insectivora (especially elephantulus myurus), the tupaioidea and the prosimian primates, with special reference to the evolution of the primate diencephalon.

A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / The comparative structure of the diencephalon was investigated in the elephant shrew, the tree-shrew and several of the prosimian and anthropoid primates, including man. The brains were perfused with and fixed in formol saline. Most of those
brains were sectioned transversely; others horizontally and sagitaliy. Sections of the diencophalon were stained with the cresyl-echt violet method for cytology and the study of cytoarchitectonics, and with the Kluver and Barrera, and Simmons techniques for myeloarchitectonics. / WHSLYP2017
