-
refers to one of two subdivisions of the infundibular stem of the neurohypophysis, which extends from the ventral surface of the intermediate hypothalamic region. The other is the internal lamina of the infundibulum. Described in the rat, it belongs functionally to the parvicellular neuroendocrine cell groups of the subcortical motor system. (The internal lamina of the infundibulum belongs to the magnocellular neuroendocrine cell groups.) ( Swanson-2004 ).
