Description of part

The juxtacapsular part of the lateral bed nucleus is a small lens-shaped cell aggregate made up of small ovoid cells that fill a shallow concavity made by the medial surface of the internal capsule at the same plane as the crossing fibers of the anterior commissure. Its medial edge borders the dorsal and posterior lateral bed nucleus, but is distinguishable from these areas by its smaller and more densely packed cells.
