Abbreviation

PTLp

Species

Rat

Description of part

This region appears to lie between unimodal somatosensory and visual areas and receives inputs from the lateral posterior nucleus, to this extent it may correspond to posterior parietal association areas in primates and other mammals, see Hughes 1977, Miller and Vogt 1984.

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.
