Description of part

The rat possesses a prominent mass of gray lying over and behind the anterior commissure which might almost be called a special nucleus of the stria terminalis (fig. 19). It consists of a dense collection of cells near the point of contact of the stria medullaris and fornix columns, which is continuous with that mass of gray matter which passes down behind the anterior commissure and follows the fornix column toward the hypothalamus.
