MeSH Heading: Septal Nuclei
Tree Number(s): A08.186.211.180.750.800; A08.186.211.200.885.750.800
Unique ID: D012686
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012686
Scope Note: Neural nuclei situated in the septal region. They have afferent and cholinergic efferent connections with a variety of FOREBRAIN and BRAIN STEM areas including the HIPPOCAMPAL FORMATION, the LATERAL HYPOTHALAMUS, the tegmentum, and the AMYGDALA. Included are the dorsal, lateral, medial, and triangular septal nuclei, septofimbrial nucleus, nucleus of diagonal band, nucleus of anterior commissure, and the nucleus of stria terminalis.
