Description of part

The posterior part of the lateral bed nucleus (BSTLP) accounts for the majority of the cells in this complex (Figs. 15B, 15C, and 28). It surrounds the ventral and caudal aspects of the dorsal part, with its main mass found posterior to the dorsal part of the lateral bed nucleus, where it replaces the dorsal part, but also extends ventrally and laterally, where it merges with the anterodorsal or central division of the sublenticular extended amygdala. In Nissl-stained sections, the cell composition of the posterior lateral bed nucleus resembles that of the dorsal lateral bed nucleus, except that it is somewhat more heterogeneous, containing smaller elongated cells that are more closely spaced.
