Description of part

Johnston ('23) has described this for the rat. He draws attention to the fact that it is found in the plane of the anterior commissure and becomes continuons with the head of the caudate and the nucleus accumbens rostrally, while caudally it follows the fornix columns to the hypothalamus. He thinks that this bed nucleus accompanies the stria all the way through its course from the amygdaloid complex. However, we want to stress this one point: that the stria terminalis in its course on the ventrolateral aspect of the fornix is accompanied by very few nerve cells. Thus, we have not been able to see a nerve cell in as many as fifteen to twenty sections in the serial order, in the preparations at hand. It is also noted that a close relation exists between this and the bed nucleus of the anterior commissure.
