-
refers to one of two parts of the pregeniculate nucleus in the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Franklin-2008 ). It is distinguished from the other part, the medial zone of the pregeniculate nucleus, in that it is composed of larger cells ( Franklin-2008 ). In that regard, it is equivalent to the caudal part of the pregeniculate nucleus in the macaque ( Olszewski-1952 ). Functionally the pregeniculate nucleus belongs to the reticular formation (functional) of the subcortical motor system ( Swanson-2004 ).
