Term: Dorsal horn of the spinal cord
Definition: The basic division of the dorsal horn used by Cajal (1995) has been adopted here. He divided the base of the dorsal horn into medial and lateral basal nuclei (together called the BDG here), whereas his head and neck (center) of the dorsal horn has come to be referred to as the nucleus proprius (see Carpenter and Sutin 1983), the reticular nucleus (process) is found lateral to the nucleus proprius (see Rexed 1952).
