island of Calleja in dogs

One of the seven small groups of granule cells in the polymorph layer of the olfactory tubercle and one large group, the insula magna, which lies along the border between septum, nucleus accumbens and nucleus of the diagonal band. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the island of Calleja is

One of the seven small groups of granule cells in the polymorph layer of the olfactory tubercle and one large group, the insula magna, which lies along the border between septum, nucleus accumbens and nucleus of the diagonal band. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the island of Calleja 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 island of Calleja connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cerebral hemisphere and telencephalon.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the island of Calleja. 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.
