Substantia nigra
| Name: | Substantia nigra |
| Description: | Predominantly gray matter midbrain structure lying dorsal to the crus cerebri and ventral to the midbrain tegmentum. It is divided into a dorsal, cellularly compact region known as the pars compacta and a more ventrally located, containing more loosely packed cells, the pars reticulata. The most lateral region of the reticulata is identified as the pars lateralis (MM). |
| Is part of: | Midbrain, Basal ganglia |
| Abbreviation: | SN |
| Super-category: | Regional part of brain |
