refers to one of six subdivisions of the cochlear nuclei as identified by Nissl stain in the rat and the mouse. In the rat it is located between the middle cerebellar peduncle and the anteroventral cochlear nucleus rostral to the dorsal cochlear nucleus. The other divisions are the dorsal cochlear nucleus, the anteroventral cochlear nucleus, the posteroventral cochlear nucleus, the granular lamina of the cochlear nuclei and the interstitial nucleus of the auditory nerve ( Swanson-2004 ). Some authors identify it in the mouse ( Dong-2004 ), though others appear to incorporate it into the granular lamina of the cochlear nuclei ( Hof-2000 ).
