Description of part

The supracapsular part of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis is a term that-for the rat-encompasses interrupted cell columns accompanying the stria terminalis as it traverses the dorsal part of the internal capsule. As with the sublenticular extended amygdala, the supracapsular bed nucleus includes elements of both the medial and the central divisions of the extended amygdala. Incidental observations, made in the course of other retrograde labeling experiments, indicate that there is also a medial to lateral segregation of the cells associated with the medial and central divisions of the extended amygdala, respectively.
