?:definition
|
-
refers to the most dorsomedial and rostral of three components of the magnocellular tuberomammillary nuclei identified by Nissl stain in the posterior hypothalamic region of the rat ( Koehler-1985 ) and the mouse ( Paxinos-2001; Hof-2000 ). In the rat it is embedded dorsally in the posterior periventricular nucleus ( Swanson-2004 ). In the mouse it is located between the posterior hypothalamic area dorsally and the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus ventrally.
It is not identified in human ( Saper-2004; Mai-2004 ) or macaque ( Bleier-1984; Paxinos-2009a ) atlases. The other components of the magnocellular tuberomammillary nuclei are the tuberomammillary nucleus and the diffuse tuberomammillary nucleus. Functionally it is part of the behavioral state system ( Swanson-2004 ).
