Description of part
According to Bechterew 1899, Taber et al 1960, Valverde 1962. A superior central nucleus with medial and lateral zones has long been recognized. Konig and Klippel (1963) referred to the nucleus medianus raphes which may correspond to the medial part, where serotonergic neurons are apparently concentrated (Dahlstrom and Fuxe 1964).
Part type
