midline


Explanation:
Since this refers to the brain, the most appropriate translation appears to be 'midline' (parallel to the sagittal suture). As the antonym to 'dorsal', does 'ventral' actually apply in this context?

This is based on the assumption that the theoretical view of the brain here is AP, not lateral.
