| ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus | The composite middle third of the ventral nucleus receiving in its various parts distinctive projections from the contralateral half of the cerebellum (by way of the superior cerebellar peduncle) and the ipsilateral globus pallidus; nearly all parts of the nucleus projects to the motor cortex. Synonym: nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami, nucleus ventralis lateralis, ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial vein of lateral ventricle | A vein that drains deep portions of the parietal and occipital lobes; it runs in the medial wall of the lateral ventricle to empty into the internal cerebral vein or the great cerebral vein. Synonym: vena ventriculi lateralis medialis, medial atrial vein, medial vein of lateral ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central and lateral intermediate substance | The central gray matter of the spinal cord surrounding the central canal. Synonym: substantia intermedia centralis et lateralis, anterior gray column, Stilling's gelatinous substance, substantia gelatinosa centralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central lateral nucleus of thalamus | The most lateral of the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus. Synonym: nucleus centralis lateralis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| right or left lateral decubitus film | A radiograph exposed with the subject in the decubitus position; named for the side that is dependent. Synonym: right or left lateral decubitus film. (05 Mar 2000) |
| choroid plexus of lateral ventricle | The vascular fringe that projects from the choroidal fissure into each lateral ventricle. Synonym: plexus choroideus ventriculi lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cistern of lateral fossa of cerebrum | An elongated expansion of the subarachnoid space where the arachnoid bridges over the opening of the Sylvian fissure. Synonym: cisterna fossae lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cornua of lateral ventricle | See: anterior horn, inferior horn of lateral ventricle, cornu posterius ventriculi lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of lateral cerebral sulcus | The long, posteriorly-directed continuation of the lateral cerebral sulcus which extends between the temporal lobe inferiorly and the parietal lobe superiorly, its termination surrounded by the supramarginal gyrus. Synonym: ramus posterior sulci lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cross-table lateral projection | <radiology> Lateral projection radiography of a supine subject using a horizontal X-ray beam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary lateral sclerosis | Considered by many to be a subgroup of motor neuron disease; a slowly progressive degenerative disorder of the motor neurons of the cerebral cortex, resulting in widespread weakness on an upper motor neuron basis; spasticity, hyperreflexia, and Babinski signs are present, but not fasciculation potentials, nor any electrodiagnostic evidence of a lower motor neuron lesion. Synonym: lateral spinal sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominence of lateral saemicircular canal | The slight bulge in the medial wall of the epitympanic recess caused by the proximity of the lateral saemicircular canal. Synonym: prominentia canalis saemicircularis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| X-ray, lateral | An X-ray picture taken from the side. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypothalamic area, lateral | An area in the middle hypothalamus continuous rostrally with the lateral preoptic area and caudally with the tegmentum mesencephali. It contains the tuberomammillary and lateral tuberal nuclei. (12 Dec 1998) |
