Term: Tuberal nucleus

Definition: Canteras et al. 1994. TUte comes from Petrovich et al. 2001 and is derived from Paxinos and Watson (1986). The TUl is frankly parvicellular, and obviously corresponds to the traditional lateral tuberal nucleus, including a small protrusion on the base of the hypothalamus (Nauta and Haymaker 1969).
