Detailed explanation-2: -The telencephalon has four major components: the cerebral cortex, the limbic forebrain structures, the basal ganglia, and the olfactory system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The embryonic dorsal telencephalon generates primarily glutamatergic neurons and can be divided into two main regions: an anterior and lateral region that gives rise to the neocortex, and a posterior and medial area that develops into the hippocampus, the cortical hem and the choroid plexus.
