| stria longitudinalis medialis | A thin longitudinal band of nerve fibres accompanied by gray matter, running along the surface of the corpus callosum on either side of the median line. Together with the lateral longitudinal stria it forms part of a thin layer of gray matter on the dorsal surface of the corpus callosum, the indusium griseum, a rudimentary component of the hippocampus. Synonym: stria longitudinalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nodus lacunaris medialis | A lymph node of the external iliac group located medial to the external iliac vein at the vascular lacuna. Synonym: nodus lacunaris medialis, medial lacunar node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus bicipitalis medialis | at the cubital fossa, the groove separating the biceps brachii and brachialis muscles on the medial side. Synonym: sulcus bicipitalis medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulcus medialis cruris cerebri | A groove in the lateral wall of the interpeduncular fossa of the midbrain from which the rootlets of the oculomotor nerve emerge. Synonym: sulcus medialis cruris cerebri, sulcus nervi oculomotorii, sulcus of the oculomotor nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus corporis geniculati medialis | The nerve cell groups composing the medial geniculate body (corpus geniculatum mediale). Synonym: nucleus corporis geniculati medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus medialis centralis thalami | A small cell group in the interthalamic adhesion of the thalamus, occupying the midline region of the internal medullary lamina, between the left and the right paracentral nucleus. Synonym: nucleus medialis centralis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus medialis thalami | A large, composite cell group in the dorsomedial region of the thalamus having reciprocal connections with the entire extent of the frontal cortex anterior to the motor cortex (area 4) and premotor cortex (area 6). The afferent connections of the medial nucleus also include projections from the olfactory cortex and amygdala. Synonym: nucleus medialis thalami, dorsomedial nucleus, mediodorsal nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus olivaris accessorius medialis | A detached part of the olivary nucleus medial to the latter's main body, against the lateral side of the medial lemniscus and pyramidal tract. Synonym: nucleus olivaris accessorius medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nucleus preopticus medialis | A group of nerve cells forming the medial zone of the preoptic region. Synonym: nucleus preopticus medialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eminentia medialis | Longitudinal elevation of the rhomboid fossa, extending along either side of the midline throughout the length of the rhombencephalon; made up of named elevations such as the facial colliculus and the hypoglossal and vagal trigones. Synonym: eminentia medialis, eminentia teres, funiculus teres, round eminence. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fasciculus longitudinalis medialis | A longitudinal bundle of fibres extending from the upper border of the mesencephalon into the cervical segments of the spinal cord, located close to the midline and ventral to the central gray matter; it is composed largely of fibres from the vestibular nuclei ascending to the motor neurons innervating the external eye muscles (abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei), and descending to spinal cord segments innervating the musculature of the neck. Synonym: fasciculus longitudinalis medialis, Collier's tract, medial longitudinal bundle, posterior longitudinal bundle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis | In the brachial plexus, the bundle of nerve fibres formed by the anterior division of the inferior trunk which lies medial to the axillary artery; it gives off the medial pectoral nerve, the medial brachial cutaneous, and medial antebrachial cutaneous, nerves and end by dividing into the medial root of the median nerves and the ulnar nerve. Synonym: fasciculus medialis plexus brachialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
