ventrolateral part of the ventromedial nucleus ( VMHvl )
The term ventrolateral part of the ventromedial nucleus refers to one of two parts of the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus in some humans ( Saper-2004 ) and the macaque ( Paxinos-2009a ); it is one of four parts in the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Dong-2004 ). It is defined on the basis of Nissl stain. Another part in both primates and rodents is the dorsomedial part of the ventromedial nucleus. The remaining parts in the rat and mouse are the anterior part of the ventromedial nucleus and the central part of the ventromedial nucleus. Functionally it is part of the behavior control column of the subcortical motor system ( Swanson-2004 ).
