Description of part
The medial subdivision of BST extends from the region of the anterior commissure (Fig 1) to the level of the preoptic hypothalamic junction (Fig. 6). Neurons are basically similar in all portions of the subdivision (Figs. 5,7,8). Most cells have ovoid perikarya that are 14-18 micrometers long and 10-13 micrometers wide. Two or three dendrites arise from the cell body and branch rather sparingly. Denddtes may extend 300-400 micrometers and vary in spine density. Axons originate from cell bodies primary dendrites, or the proximal portion of secondary dendrites (compare cells B,C, and E of Fig. 7.) and do not appear to display a preferred orientation.
