Anterior Hypothalamic Area
Hierarchy level in atlas is 4: 3 superstructures include it.
abbreviation: AHAbbreviation
AH
Species
Mouse
Description of part
Controversy exists over the location of the anterior hypothalamic nucleus. We followed Paxinos and Watson (1986) in dividing the AH into three parts that merge into each other. However, our most anterior part is immediately dorsal to that which was identifiedby Saper et al. (1978) as the anterior part of the anterior hypothalamic nucleus.
Part type
gray matter
Nomenclature
Paxinos/Franklin-2001
Endorsement
The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.
Collator argument
The hierarchy of this region was constructed using the rat atlas Paxinos and Watson 1998 and Simerly 1995. See also Swanson 1992.
