During and after the formation of the neural tube the ventricular surface contains a series of ridges and sulci. This pattern of ridges and sulci demonstrates a segmental pattern. The ventricular surface morphology has been studied with SEM in the diencephalon of the rat, and subsequently the developmental changes were described as to its neuromeric borders and the presence of the sulcus limitans (see Lakke et al. 1988).
