The thalamus develops from a swelling on each side of the lateral wall of the diencephalon.As the thalamic swellings enlarge,they bulge into the cavity of the diencephalon (developing third ventricle),reducing it to a narrow cavity.The thalamic swellings often meet and fuse in the midline,forming the interthalamic adhesion (massa intermedia),which bridges the cavity of the third ventricle.
