Description of part
..generally classified as a member of the caudal group of septal nuclei. The BST forms the floor of the lateral ventricle and is bounded dorsomedially by the ventral aspect of the lateral septal nucleus, and laterally by the internal capsule which separates it from caudate-putamen and globus pallidus (Figs. 3A; 4A; 5A, B, C; 6A to E; 7F). Caudally, it is successively bounded by the stria medullaris and in part by the columns of the fornix. Rostrally, it is bounded by the nucleus accumbens, while ventrally it merges with the preoptic area. Collator note: this term is not captured in a hierarchy; its subparts are components of the different amygdaloid nuclei.
