Description of part

According to Faull and Mehler 1985. LeDoux et al. (1987) have divided the parvicellular part of the subparafascicular nucleus as defined here into a posterodorsal part (which they called the posterior intralaminar nucleus, although it is not continuous with the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus), and a ventral part (which they called the parvicellular part of the subparafascicular nucleus). This distinction was difficult to make our Nissl-stained material
