Term: Subparafascicular nucleus parvicellular part

Definition: LeDoux and colleagues have clearly distinguished a caudolateral division of the SPFp, and the borders of the SPFp now conform to their results. The initial characterization of their posterior intralaminar nucleus (see LeDoux et al. 1987) has now been refined (Doron and LeDoux 1999) to eliminate their lateral subparafascicular nucleus. Our recognition of medial and lateral divisions of the SPFp is similar to Coolen et al. (2003).
