This is because the brain is rotated 90 degrees. ==Rostral== is toward the head, ==caudal== is toward the tail The ==horizontal== plane splits anatomy from top to bottom, the ==sagittal== plane splits anatomy from left to right, and the ==coronal== plane splits the brain from front to back. ![[Pasted image 20220824103806.png]] He won't ask us about the specific organization of the adult human brain. **he want's us to know the parts of the Limbic system**
