The thalamus is a bilateral structure, with most of its mass located laterally in the brain. In a midsagittal plane (a vertical plane that divides the body into left and right halves), only a very small portion of the thalamus is visible because this view essentially slices between the two halves of the thalamus. In contrast, coronal (frontal) and axial (horizontal) planes would cut through the thalamus, showing much more of its structure.
