Term: Ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus
Definition: Gurdjian (1927) and Saper et al. (1976a) recognized dorsomedial and ventrolateral cell condensations separated by a relatively cell-sparse central region; Van Houten and Brawer (1978) also recognized a distinct anterior component. Also see Canteras et al. 1994
