Description of part

The cytoarchitecture of this ventrolateral region of the striatum just deep to the substantia innominata is more heterogeneous than that of the nucleus accumbens and especially the caudoputamen. While the term "striatal fundus" (fundus striati of Heimer 1972) has been used here and there in the recent literature, its borders have not been clearly defined; it is used here to refer to the region identified as the substriatal gray by Crosby and Humphrey (1941). The interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure lies within the striatal fundus and immediately adjacent regions of the caudoputamen (see Shammah-Lagnado et al. 2001).
