| rami caudae nuclei caudati | Branches to the tail of the caudate nucleus. Branches from either the anterior choroid or the posterior communicating artery, or both, to supply the tail of the caudate nucleus, a branch from the middle cerebral artery to the tail of the caudate nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| venae nuclei caudati | Small veins from the caudate nucleus draining into the superior thalamostriate vein. Synonym: veins of caudate nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parabrachial nuclei | The cell groups flanking the brachium conjunctivum at levels immediately caudal to the inferior colliculus; they serve as way-stations in the pathways ascending from the nucleus of solitary tract to the thalamus and hypothalamus, and receive afferent fibres from the hypothalamus and amygdaloid body. Synonym: nuclei parabrachiales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| raphe nuclei | Collections of small neurons centrally scattered among many fibres from the level of the trochlear nucleus in the midbrain to the hypoglossal area in the medulla oblongata. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventral tier thalamic nuclei | Collective term for nuclei in the ventral part of the lateral nuclear group, e.g., ventral anterior, lateral, posterolateral, and posteromedial nuclei and the medial and lateral geniculate bodies. The basoventral nuclear complex constitutes the caudal part of the ventral tier thalamic nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular nuclei | The four cellular masses in the floor of the fourth ventricle giving rise to a widely dispersed special sensory system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vestibulocochlear nuclei | The combined cochlear and vestibular nuclei in the brainstem that receive the incoming fibres of the eighth cranial nerve. See: vestibular nucleus. Synonym: nuclei nervi vestibulocochlearis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cauda nuclei caudati | The elongated posterior extension of the caudate nucleus that parallels the body and inferior horn of the lateral ventricle. Synonym: cauda nuclei caudati, cauda striati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellar nuclei | Four accumulations of gray substance embedded in the white substance of the cerebellum, comprising the nucleus dentatus, nucleus emboliformis, nucleus globosus, and nucleus fastigii. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reticular nuclei of the brainstem | The vaguely delineated cell groups composing the gray matter of the reticular formation of the rhombencephalon and mesencephalon. In general, large-celled territories occupy the medial two-thirds of the reticular formation: gigantocellular nucleus of medulla oblongata, nuclei tegmenti pontis caudalis and oralis. Smaller groups of reticular nuclei are found laterally and in paramedian locations; lateral nuclei receive sensory collaterals and project medially; paramedian reticular nuclei largely project to the cerebellum. See: reticular formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perihypoglossal nuclei | Nuclei found in the floor of the 4th ventricle in relation to the hypoglossal nucleus, includes the prepositus and intercalated nuclei and the nucleus of Roller. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gudden's tegmental nuclei | Collective term for two small round cell groups in the caudal part of the midbrain (caudal pontine tegmental nucleus, nucleus tegmenti pontis caudalis and oral pontine tegmental nucleus, nucleus tegmenti pontis oralis), associated with the mamillary body by way of the mamillary peduncle and mamillotegmental tract. Synonym: nuclei tegmenti, Gudden's tegmental nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cochlear nuclei | The nucleus cochlearis dorsalis and nucleus cochlearis ventralis, located on the dorsal and lateral surface of the inferior cerebellar peduncle, in the floor of the lateral recess of the rhomboid fossa. They receive the incoming fibres of the cochlear part of the vestibulocochlear nerve and are the major source of origin of the lateral lemniscus or central auditory pathway. Synonym: cochlear nuclei, nuclei nervi cochlearis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor nuclei | Collections of motor neurons (forming a continuous column in the spinal cord, discontinuous in the medulla and pons) giving origin to the spinal and cranial motor nerves. Synonym: nuclei originis, motor nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corpus nuclei caudati | The suprathalamic part of the caudate nucleus lying in the floor of the central part of the lateral ventricle. Synonym: corpus nuclei caudati. (05 Mar 2000) |
