| Definition
|
One of two hemispherical bulges on the base of the posterior hypothalamus (Butler and Hodos, Comparative Vertebrate Neuroanatomy, 2nd ed., 2005, pg 455).
|
| EditorialNote
|
Brain Info/Neuronames lists the mammillary body as a superficial feature of the posterior hypothalamus. However, the MSH definition clearly indicates that it is the nuclei that it refers to. Needs review.
