septum pellucidum (pel lucy' dumb)

• The septum pellucidum itself probably has no special functional importance.

• It is made up of two thin sheets of mostly glial-like elements that abut each other in the midline and have a potential space between them.Those sheets also separate the left and right lateral ventricles from each other.

• At the base of the sheets rostrally, however, are the septal nuclei, which are important components of the limbic system.
