Medial division is characterized by neurons with both tufted and radiate patterns. In Nissl stains, characterized by the largest perikarya compared to other divisions.

Anat., Lond., 98, 611 cyto-architecture, myelo-architecture Medial division of the medial geniculate body, originally described by Morest (1964) in cats but also found in rats (Paxinos, 1995). In cats, it occupies the ventro-medial quadrant, extending into the fibers of the brachium of the inferior colliculus and adjoining the ventral thalamic nucleus antero-medially. nlx_23119 Medial nucleus of medial geniculate body 2012-02-22T00:00:00 Most heavily myelinated of the 3 divisions; it is dominated by longitudinal bundles traversing lateral to the medial lemniscus. 14229992 Parcellation scheme parcel Medial nucleus of medial geniculate nucleus medial geniculate nucleus medial division medial geniculate nucleus divisio medialis Parcellation scheme parcel Synonym SuperCategory Cat Species PublicationLink PartiallyOverlapsWith Morest 1964 ParcellationScheme PMID MyeloDefiningCriteria ModifiedDate Label Medial geniculate body Is part of Id Definition DefiningCriteria DefiningCitation CytoDefiningCriteria CurationStatus Abbrev
