dorsal premammillary nucleus
The term dorsal premammillary nucleus refers to one of two premammillary nuclei in the macaque ( Bleier-1984 ), the rat ( Swanson-1998 ) and the mouse ( Hof-2000 ). The other is the ventral premammillary nucleus. Neither of the premammillary nuclei is discernable by Nissl stain in the human ( Swanson-19988 ). Functionally it is part of the behavior control column of the subcortical motor system ( Swanson-2004 ).
