[The nucleus of the posterior pallial commissure in Lacerta sicula (Rafinesque) and its ontogenetic connection to the thalamus].
The nucleus of the posterior pallial commissure of Lacerta sicula originates between the 11th and 18day of incubation. During this time, the developing nucleus shows a distinct and wellformed cellular connection with the rostral, dorsally lying ventral thalamus. The whole connecting nuclear mass lies close to the matrix of the diencephalic and telencephalic ventricle and the connecting foramen interventriculare. It is evident that cells which originate from the the ventral thalamus are possibly delivered to the telencephalic nucleus of the posterior pallial commissure. The cellular connection between thalamus and hemisphere ruptures between the 18th and 19th day of incubation as a result of growth displacement and is no longer visible in later stages.
