septal nucle
(noun)
Play a role in reward and reinforcement along with the nucleus
accumbens.
Examples of septal nucle in the following topics:
-
Limbic System
- Fornix: A white matter structure that carries signals from the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies and septal nuclei.
- The septal nuclei receive reciprocal connections from the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, midbrain, habenula, cingulate gyrus, and thalamus.
-
Epithalamus and Pineal Gland
- The stria medullaris, also known as stria medullaris thalami, is a fiber bundle containing afferent fibers from the septal nuclei, lateral preoptic hypothalamic region, and anterior thalamic nuclei to the habenula.
-
Congenital Heart Defects
- Mutations of a heart muscle protein, α-myosin heavy chain (MYH6) are associated with atrial and septal defects.
- Mutations of all these proteins are associated with both atrial and ventricular septal defects.
- Figure B shows two common locations for a ventricular septal defect.
-
Heart Murmurs
- Finally, a ventricular septal defect presents with a holosystolic murmur and is best heard at the left lower sternal border.
-
Biology of Sexual Behavior
- Beneath the cortex is the limbic system, which consists of the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus, and septal area.
