endbrain - BrainInfo

endbrain (EBR)

The term endbrain (EBR) refers to one of two components of the forebrain (FBR). Developed in the adult from the embryonic Telencephalon, it is the more rostral component. Its most prominent cellular subdivisions are the cerebral cortex (CTX), the basal ganglia (BGL), the septum (SPT), and the basal forebrain (BFB). The more caudal component of the FBR is the interbrain (IBR) ( Carpenter-1983 ). The EBR is grossly equivalent to the cerebrum of the Functional CNS Model - Rat of brain structure ( Swanson-2004 ). It is found in the human, macaque, rat, and mouse ( NeuroNames ). Updated 19 Dec 2024.

Models Where It Appears

Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.

Classical Vertebrate Central Nervous System

The Classical Vertebrate Central Nervous System is a hierarchical model of gray matter structures that are common to the brain and spinal cord of all vertebrates. As in other classical models, structures are grouped by proximity as observed on dissection, and the upper levels correspond roughly to their organization in the embryo. The hierarchical organization is based on the Basic Partts List for Adult Nervous System in All Animals ( Swanson-2104 ), the nomenclature on NeuroNames ( Bowden-2012 ).
