Medical Pineal Gland Location: Understanding its Position in the Brain

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the anatomical location of the Hippocampus and the Pineal Gland within the brain. It is noted that the Hippocampus is situated on the inner side of the Temporal Lobe, extending back and over the Thalamus, with two Hippocampi located on the left and right sides. The Pineal Gland is described as being centrally located towards the back of the brain. There is a request for clarification on whether the Pineal Gland is positioned outside of the Hippocampi, along with a suggestion to provide a specimen photo for better understanding.

I know the Hippocampus starts right on the inner side of the Temporale Lobe and goes straight back.
Then it goes up and over the top of the Thalamus and there are 2. Hippocampi one one the left and on on the right.

I get all of this and I also know about the Pineal Gland and I look at a lot of Photos but need help on where it is.
What I mean is I know the Pineal Gland is in the center of the Brain going to the Back side but is it outside of the Hippocampi?
