In the anatomy of the brain of vertebrates , the prosencephalon (or forebrain ) is the rostral -most portion of the brain . The prosencephalon, the mesencephalon (midbrain), and rhombencephalon (hindbrain) are the three primary portions of the brain during early development of the central nervous system .
At the five-vesicle stage, the prosencephalon separates into the diencephalon (thalamus , hypothalamus , subthalamus , and epithalamus ) and the telencephalon (cerebrum). The cerebrum consists of the cerebral cortex , underlying white matter , and the basal ganglia .
