Description of part

Based on extensive connectional data (see Dong et al. 2001; and Dong and Swanson, in preparation) we have simplified the nomenclature originally proposed by Ju and Swanson (1989). In essence, the anterodorsal, anteroventral, and dorsolateral areas of the anterior division have been combined into an anteromedial area, and the subcommissural zone has been merged with the anterolateral area of the anterior division. In addition, the rostral end of the dorsomedial nucleus has been added to the anteromedial area, and the caudal tip of the principal nucleus of the posterior division has been assigned to the interfascicular nucleus instead.
