Description of part

Todd 1989. The basic division of the dorsal horn used by Cajal (1995) has been adopted here. He divided the base of the dorsal horn into medial and lateral basal nuclei (together called here the basal nucleus of the dorsal horn), whereas his head and neck (dorsoventral 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).
