Description of part

Because the atlas does not extend into the spinal cord, the following is not an exhaustive account of cell groups within this division of the CNS. For a general account of the rat spinal cord , see Waibl (1973) and Altman and Bayer (1984), for attempts to impose a laminar organization of the spinal cord see Rexed (1952, 1954) and Brichta and Grant (1985)

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.
