MeSH definition : The dorsal posterior subdivision of the diencephalon. The epithalamus is generally
considered to include the habenular nuclei (HABENULA) and associated fiber bundles,
the PINEAL BODY, and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle. The anterior and
posterior paraventricular nuclei of the thalamus are included with the THALAMIC NUCLEI
although they develop from the same pronuclear mass as the epithalamic nuclei and
are sometimes considered part of the epithalamus.;
