Similarly, if the world had some other figure with unequal radii, if, for instance, it were lentiform, or oviform, in every case we should have to admit space and void outside the moving body, because the whole body would not always occupy the same room.    From Wordnik.com.  [On the Heavens] Reference

The sum total of the eggs is divided into five or six small, flat, lentiform pockets, which, taken together, occupy the greater part of the maternal home.    From Wordnik.com.  [The Life of the Spider] Reference

The cortical gray substance of the insula is continuous with that of the different opercula, while its deep surface corresponds with the lentiform nucleus of the corpus striatum.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The substantia innominata of Meynert is a stratum consisting partly of gray and partly of white substance, which lies below the anterior part of the thalamus and lentiform nucleus.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The lentiform nucleus (nucleus lentiformis; lenticular nucleus; lenticula) (Fig. 741) is lateral to the caudate nucleus and thalamus, and is seen only in sections of the hemisphere.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The gray substance of the hemisphere is divided into: (1) that of the cerebral cortex, and (2) that of the caudate nucleus, the lentiform nucleus, the claustrum, and the nucleus amygdalæ.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The lateral surface is in contact with a thick band of white substance which forms the occipital part of the internal capsule and separates the thalamus from the lentiform nucleus of the corpus striatum.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

Fibers also extend from the thalamus into the corpus striatum—those destined for the caudate nucleus leave the lateral surface, and those for the lentiform nucleus, the inferior surface of the thalamus.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

In the cerebral peduncle, a few of its fibers pass upward in the lateral part of the base of the peduncle, on the dorsal aspect of the temporopontine fibers, and reach the lentiform nucleus and the insula.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4b. The Mid-brain or Mesencephalon] Reference

During the fourth and fifth months the corpus striatum becomes incompletely subdivided by the fibers of the internal capsule into two masses, an inner, the caudate nucleus, and an outer, the lentiform nucleus.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 2. Development of the Nervous System] Reference

The portion in front of the genu is termed the frontal part, and separates the lentiform from the caudate nucleus; the portion behind the genu is the occipital part, and separates the lentiform nucleus from the thalamus.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

It is separated from the lentiform nucleus, in the greater part of its extent, by a thick lamina of white substance, called the internal capsule, but the two portions of the corpus striatum are united in front (Figs. 743, 744).    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The superior layer is named the ansa lentiformis, and its fibers, derived from the medullary lamina of the lentiform nucleus, pass medially to end in the thalamus and subthalamic region, while others are said to end in the tegmentum and red nucleus.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

A part of the corpus striatum is imbedded in the white substance of the hemisphere, and is therefore external to the ventricle; it is termed the extraventricular portion, or the lentiform nucleus; the remainder, however, projects into the ventricle, and is named the intraventricular portion, or the caudate nucleus (Fig. 737).    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The corpus striatum is also connected: (1) to the cerebral cortex, by what are termed the corticostriate fibers; (2) to the thalamus, by fibers which pass through the internal capsule, and by a strand named the ansa lentiformis; (3) to the cerebral peduncle, by fibers which leave the lower aspect of the caudate and lentiform nuclei.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The frontal part of the internal capsule contains: (1) fibers running from the thalamus to the frontal lobe; (2) fibers connecting the lentiform and caudate nuclei; (3) fibers connecting the cortex with the corpus striatum; and (4) fibers passing from the frontal lobe through the medial fifth of the base of the cerebral peduncle to the nuclei pontis.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX. Neurology. 4c. The Fore-brain or Prosencephalon] Reference

The fibers are at first somewhat widely diffused, but as they descend through the corona radiata they gradually approach each other, and pass between the lentiform nucleus and thalamus, in the genu and anterior two-thirds of the occipital part of the internal capsule; those in the genu are named the geniculate fibers, while the remainder constitute the cerebrospinal fibers; proceeding downward they enter the middle three-fifths of the base of the cerebral peduncle.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX.

(c) The superior longitudinal fasciculus passes backward from the frontal lobe above the lentiform nucleus and insula; some of its fibers end in the occipital lobe, and others curve downward and forward into the temporal lobe.    From Wordnik.com.  [IX.

The Antero-lateral Ganglionic Branches, a group of small arteries which arise at the commencement of the middle cerebral artery, are arranged in two sets: one, the internal striate, passes upward through the inner segments of the lentiform nucleus, and supplies it, the caudate nucleus, and the internal capsule; the other, the external striate, ascends through the outer segment of the lentiform nucleus, and supplies the caudate nucleus and the thalamus.    From Wordnik.com.  [VI.
