striatum in dogs

A region of the forebrain consisting of the caudate nucleus, putamen and fundus striati.[GO]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the striatum is

A region of the forebrain consisting of the caudate nucleus, putamen and fundus striati.[GO]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the striatum 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 striatum connects to

The atlas records 18 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, basal forebrain and basal ganglion, and 4 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the striatum. 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 neostriatum, neuraxis striatum, striate nucleus, striatum, striatum of neuraxis and caudate putamen, and 4 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the striatum?

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 striatum connect to?

Part of: anatomical entity, basal forebrain, basal ganglion, brain, forebrain and nervous system, and 1 more.

Is the striatum 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.
