Description of part

The basic subdivision of the dorsal hron of the spinal cord used by Cajal (1995) has been adopted here. He divided the base of the dorsal horn into medial and lateral basal nuclei (together called the BDG here), whereas his head and neck (center) of the dorsal horn has come to be referred to as the nucleus proprius (see Carpenter and Sutin 1983), the reticular nucleus (process) is found lateral to the nucleus proprius (see Rexed 1952).

Part type

gray matter

Nomenclature

Swanson-1992

Endorsement

The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.

Collator argument

The hierarchy was constructed and adapted according to the information found in the Rat Brain Atlas, Swanson 1992. We have considered three types of brain structures: grisea (neural masses), fiber tracts, and ventricles. The hierarchical tree was constructed by taking into account two criteria: the set of classes and subclasses of the basic cell groups and fiber systems of the rat CNS and the topological positions of structures relative to superstructures.
