Description of part
The correspondence between what Streeter (1903), Castaldi (1923), and Berman (1968) identified as the NI in human, guinea pig, and cat, and what Wyss et al. (1979) called NI in the rat is unclear. Based on connectional and histochemical evidence (N.S Canteras, personal communication) the NI of Wyss et al. and the central gray matter, pars alpha of Meesen and Olszewski (1949) appear to form parts of a single nucleus, which we have divided into compact (medial) and diffuse (lateral) parts, the latter corresponding to the pars alpha.
