globus pallidus in dogs

Subcortical nucleus, functionally part of the basal ganglia, which consists of two segments the external (or lateral) and internal (or medial) separated by the medial medullary lamina in primates. In rodents, The globus pallidus lateral is separated from the medial segment by the fibers of the internal capsule/cerebral peduncle. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the globus pallidus is

Subcortical nucleus, functionally part of the basal ganglia, which consists of two segments the external (or lateral) and internal (or medial) separated by the medial medullary lamina in primates. In rodents, The globus pallidus lateral is separated from the medial segment by the fibers of the internal capsule/cerebral peduncle. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the globus pallidus is

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the globus pallidus connects to

The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of basal ganglion, cerebral hemisphere and pallidum, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the globus pallidus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as pale body, paleostriatum, globus pallidus (Burdach), nucleus pallidus, pallidium and pallidum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the globus pallidus?

It sits within the nervous system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the globus pallidus connect to?

Part of: basal ganglion, cerebral hemisphere, pallidum, telencephalon and lentiform nucleus.

Is the globus pallidus the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
