Description of part
The gray matter surrounding the stria terminalis was rather loosely referred to as the interstitial nucleus of the stria by Cajal ('11), whereas Johnston ('23) applied the term bed of the stria terminalis somewhat more specifically to a region extending from the temporal pole caudally, to the base of the olfactory peduncle (including part of the head of the caudate nucleus) rostrally. The temporal end of Johnston's bed has since come to be regarded as part of the amygdala, and only a few neurons lie along the body of the stria terminalis itself, at least in the rat (Leonard and Scott, '71). Thus, medial parts of the rostra1 end of Johnston's bed are now commonly referred to as the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST). The anterior division can be further parcellated into dorsal, lateral, and ventral areas (Figs. 1-3). They form a continuous cellular mass that is traversed by the anterior commissure, which serves as a landmark separating the anterior dorsal from the anterior ventral area.
