Thalamus

[biferi]

In the Center of the Brain is the Thalamus and it has two Lobes a Right and Left Lobe.

 

When I look on the Web for how big it is some Sites say it is as big a a Walnut and other Sites say it is as big as a large Egg.

 

So I googled Walnuts and looked at Photos.

 

A walnut looks small to me it does not look like a Large Egg.

 

So can anyone give me the right size for the Thalamus?

Is it as big as a Walnut or a large Egg?

 

Thanks

Each part of the thalamus is about the size of a walnut, the whole structure is about the size of a standard chicken egg
