AB The  atlas  of  myelin-stained  sections  through  the  central  nervous  system  is  in  three  planes:  transverse,  horizontal,  and  sagittal.  (See  Figure  1–17  for  schematic  views  of  these  planes  of  sections.)  Transverse  sections  through  the  cerebral  hemispheres  and  diencephalon  are  termed  coronal  sections  because  they  are  approximately  parallel  to  the  coronal  suture.  These  sections  also  cut  the  brain  stem,  but  parallel  to  its  long  axis.  In  addition,  three  sections  are  cut  in  planes  oblique  to  the  transverse  and  horizontal  sections.
