Fig 1. (A) After the xed brain is achieved, the arachnoid membrane and its vessels must be taken off using appropriatetechnique. One of the easiest way is to hold the major sulcal arteries near the superior convexity border and pull it allthe way down following the same direction of the sulci. It will avoid that strong and hard vessels cut the brain surfacewhen pulled off. (B) As exposed earlier, the long knife is located in the frontoparietal operculum with the base of the

 pars triangularis and a point 2 cm superior to the posterior end of the sylvian ssure as landmarks. This cut must beaimed to the superior limit of the corpus callosum, in the midline, to preserve the lateral ventricle roof to be opened

later, what can be difcult in some hemispheres. If that is the case, this step should be done with more than one move-ment, with deeper cuts until it gets in the corpus callosum by the midline. (C) The pre-central gyrus is separated fromthe remained frontal and parietal lobes and put in its original position for the study of the relations between the pri-mary motor cortex with the deeper structures as the corpus callosum and foramen of Monro. In the picture, the pos-central gyrus is also placed in anatomic position, dening the “central lobe” and the paracentral lobule in the medial

 surface. This step can be done before and after the removing of the lateral ventricular roof, as shown in the picture.(D) Opening the lateral ventricular roof. With a number 10 blade, the roof of the lateral ventricle is removed, begin-ning from the frontal horn, in an anterior-posterior way. Care should be taken here, to avoid lesion of the ventricularoor. If the rst cut in the hemisphere, made by the long-knife, was succesfull, the ventricular roof should be thin as 1-

 2 mm, what makes easier the identication of the ventricular cavity to be opened. The ventricular cavity must be en-tirely exposed, from the frontal horn to the atrium in this step.

Fig 2. (A) The remaining fronto-partietal operculum must be taken out from the hemisphere to show the insula andthe temporal operculum. With one hand, the frontoparietal operculum must be elevated while excised with a number10 blade along the superior circular sulcus, from the remaining frontal and parietal lobes. The circular sulcus from in-

 sula must be shown in all its length after that, as all the short and long insular gyri as well. (B) At the left side of this specimen, no cuts were made in the insular lobe after the frontoparietal operculum was removed. In the right side, af-ter this step, axial cuts from the superior to the inferior aspect of the insular lobe, the central core of the brain, weremade to show the deepest structures in the insular lobe and their relations with the ventricular cavity, frontoparietal

and temporal operculum. It’s the option A, described in the text. These cuts must be done with the long knife in a lat-eral to medial way, sparing the thalamus to show the ventricular oor, with the help of a number 10 blade as it getscloser to the ventricles. (C) The foramen of Monro is shown with the dissector and the genu of the internal capsule

 points it, as a usefull tip seen in MRI images. From lateral to medial, the insular cortex, the extreme capsule, the claus-trum, the external capsule, the putamen, the globus pallidus, the internal capsule, the caudate nucleus, the thalamus,the choroid ssure, and the fornix should be exposed after these axial cuts in the central core, as shown in the picture.(D) To expose the temporal horn of the lateral ventricles, a cut with the long knife must be done in the superior tem-

 poral sulcus, from lateral to medial, toward the insular cortex, removing the superior temporal gyrus or the temporaloperculum. After that, progressively deeper cuts are made from lateral to medial in the temporal lobe pointing theinferior circular sulcus of the insula until the tapetum of the corpus callosum, as the most lateral roof of the temporalhorn, is thinned. If it hasn’t been opened yet, it can be gently done with the number 10 blade following the same tech-nique used when the anterior ventricular horn, body of the ventricle and atrium was opened. The choroid ssure, the

 Amon’s horn, the collateral eminence, the pes hipoccampus, the thalamus, the mbriae, the anterior choroidal point

and the amigdala in the anterior wall of the temporal horn should be identied after this step, as shown.

Fig 3. (A) The aspect of the specimen dissected should be as shown in the picture, with the roof of the temporal horn opened by the cuts to-ward the inferior circular sulcus of the insula. The Ammon’s horn, the collateral eminence, the choroid ssure, choroids plexus and the ventric-ular and atrial walls are exposed, by the dissection. With a number 10 blade, the posterior extension of the temporal horn and atrium shouldbe opened. (B) The option B described in the text is shown in this picture. A sagittal cut was made in the insular lobe. The relations of the ven-tricular structures with the insular lobe are clear in this dissection. The cuts should be made progressively from lateral to medial, with the longknife, and every cut should be studied before the more medial next one is done. That’s because the relations between the structures in the cen-tral core are changed in different sagittal planes. The amigdala, located at the anterior wall of the temporal horn, is evident in this picture,and its relations with the globus pallidum, internal capsule and ventricular structures should be done. In these cuts, the different portions ofthe internal capsule are also evident. (C) Basal surface of the brain .The uncal notch at the uncal apex is used as an initial landmark for the in-cision in the basal surface of the temporal lobe. This curved incision, shown by the red dotted line in the picture, doesn’t have to be made inonly one movement. Instead, progressively medial to lateral curve cuts should be made toward the collateral sulcus. The objective is to removethe inferior or basal part of the uncus. There is an arachnoid plane and vessels coming from the crural and ambient cistern in the uncal notch

which helps the identication of the correct plane of dissection. Posteriorly, the incision removes the subiculum, making more evident the cho-roid ssure from below. If the correct plane of the dissection was carried on, the dentate gyrus and mbriae should be exposed without dam-age in the posterior part of the temporal lobe. (D) The uncal notch of the right temporal lobe is shown in an inferior and medial angle. The un-cal notch at the uncal apex, just anterior to the dissector in the picture, is the point where the incision should begin, and is the correct depth ofthe incision as well. (E and F) After the removal of the inferior part of the uncus and the subiculum, the dentate gyrus and the mbria just me-dial to it should be exposed. The identication of the dentate gyrus is made by the unique aspect of this structure, with transversal stripes, andthe arachnoid membrane and vessels between it and the uncus and subiculum, evident in the picture. The mbria is found in the dissection as awhite structure medial and superior to the dentate gyrus from above. The fasciolar gyrus is shown at the 3E gure. The lateral geniculate bodyand the choroid ssure turns clearly exposed after the removing of the subiculum, showing the relations of the temporal horn and the mesialtemporal lobe with the thalamus. The optic tract, as the roof of the crural cistern, is evident. The uncinate gyrus, band of Giacomini and intra-limbic gyrus are evident in this specimen, after the dissection described.
