"Internal family systems psychotherapy is an approach that applies systems thinking and family therapy technique to intrapsychic process.
It conceives of the mind as an inner family of subpersonalities or "parts" that form alliances and polarizations, just as "external" families do.

 A Histological Comparison of Myelinated Nerve Fibers between the External and Extreme Capsules in Human Brain
The second factor is the difference between the methods of the studies; for example, in spite of their accuracy, due to some ethical reasons the authors were not allowed to use experimental methods on human brain.
Considering the controversy and lack of the exact knowledge about the nerve fibers of the external capsule in human brain, we decided to investigate more about the types of the myelinated nerve fibers of the external and extreme capsules in human brain with the aim of exact and exclusive recognition of these fibers.
Furthermore, the current study was limited to the myelinated nerve fibers, so there could be some unmyelinated nerve fibers which connect the external capsule with the subthalamic nucleus or the substantianigra and there for, were neglected by the present method.

For the study, no sedation was necessary, cardiorespiratory monitoring was used, and the infant was attended by a neonatologist (P.S.H.).
However, because axonal diameter increases during myelination [27], this diameter change may contribute importantly to the diminished water diffusion perpendicular to the orientation of the fiber and thereby the increase of the relative anisotropy.

 Animal identification device with outer carrier molded around internal capsule - Patent 5357700
One object of the present invention is to provide a construction for an identification device of the initially defined kind, which enables a very cheap production of such identification devices and which makes the identification devices very resistant to the forces to which they may be subjected when used.
Hereby, the capsule may be given the largest possible strength, and its opening for the introduction of the signal means may easily be closed when the signal means is in place.
The shown carrier is formed such that two parts of it are to be connected with each other after the signal means has been placed within the capsule and the capsule has been placed in a particular space that is formed between the carrier parts when put together.

 internal capsule - definition from Biology-Online.org
The internal capsule is the major route by which the cerebral cortex is connected with the brainstem and spinal cord.
Laterally and superiorly it is continuous with the corona radiata which forms a major part of the cerebral hemisphere's white matter; caudally and medially it continues, much reduced in size, as the crus cerebri which contains, among others, the pyramidal tract.
It consists of 1) fibres ascending from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex that compose, among others, the visual, auditory, and somatic sensory radiations, and 2) fibres descending from the cerebral cortex to the thalamus, subthalamic region, midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord.
