The '''habenular trigone''' is a small depressed triangular area situated in front of the [[superior colliculus]] and on the lateral aspect of the posterior part of the [[taenia thalami]].


== Anatomy ==
It contains a group of nerve cells termed the ganglion habenulæ.
The habenular trigone is situated on the lateral aspect of the posterior part of the [[taenia thalami]].'''<ref name=":023" />'''

Fibers enter it from the stalk of the [[pineal gland]], and others, forming what is termed the [[habenular commissure]], pass across the middle line to the corresponding ganglion of the opposite side.

Most of its fibers are, however, directed downward and form a bundle, the [[fasciculus retroflexus of Meynert]] (or habenulointerpeduncular tract), which passes medial to the [[red nucleus]], and, after decussating with the corresponding fasciculus of the opposite side, ends in the [[interpeduncular nucleus|interpeduncular ganglion]].
