septal nuclear complex

Collection of nerve cells in the medial forebrain lying generally in front of the anterior commissure (Maryann Martone). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the septal nuclear complex is

Collection of nerve cells in the medial forebrain lying generally in front of the anterior commissure (Maryann Martone). The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the septal nuclear complex 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 septal nuclear complex connects to

The atlas records 14 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of basal forebrain and septum of telencephalon.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the septal nuclear complex. 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 parolfactory nuclei, septal nuclei, septal nucleus and nuclei septales. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the septal nuclear complex?

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 septal nuclear complex connect to?

Part of: basal forebrain and septum of telencephalon.

Is the septal nuclear complex the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
