sixth ventricle (medicine) and marmoset (sh)


sixth ventricle (medicine)


sixth ventricle -->
Verga's ventricle


An inconstant, horizontal, slitlike space between the posterior one-third of the corpus callosum and the underlying commissura fornicis (commissura hippocampi; psalterium) resulting from failure of these two commissural plates to fuse completely during foetal development; like the cavity of the septum pellucidum, the space is not a true ventricle in the sense that it did not develop from the central canal of the neural tube.

Synonym: cavum psalterii, cavum vergae, sixth ventricle.


marmoset (sh)




Any species of arboreal, diurnal, long-tailed South American monkey (family Callitrichidae) classified in two groups: eight species with short tusks (lower canine teeth), called marmosets, and 25 with long tusks, called tamarins.

Marmosets move in a quick, jerky manner and eat insects and sometimes fruit and small animals. Members of the common marmoset genus Callithrix are 6-10 in. (15-25 cm) long, excluding the 10-16-in. (25-40-cm) tail. The dense, silky fur is white, reddish, or blackish; the ears are generally tufted. Marmosets have been kept as Pets since the early 17th century.
