Verified step by step guidance

Understand the midsagittal view: The midsagittal plane divides the brain into left and right halves, providing a view of structures located along the midline of the brain. This is key to identifying which structures are visible in this view.

Review the anatomical location of each structure: The corpus callosum is a large band of neural fibers connecting the two hemispheres of the brain and is located along the midline, making it visible in the midsagittal view. The cerebellar cortex is part of the cerebellum, which is located posteriorly but not strictly along the midline. The olfactory bulb is located anteriorly and laterally, and the lateral ventricle is a paired structure located within each hemisphere, not along the midline.

Focus on midline structures: Since the midsagittal view only shows structures along the midline, eliminate options that are lateral or paired structures, such as the olfactory bulb and lateral ventricle.

Confirm visibility of the corpus callosum: The corpus callosum is a prominent midline structure that is clearly visible in the midsagittal view of the sheep brain. It appears as a thick band of white matter connecting the two hemispheres.

Conclude that the cerebellar cortex, olfactory bulb, and lateral ventricle are not visible in the midsagittal view because they are either lateral or not strictly midline structures.
