It has two subdivisions: the medial zone of the posterior magnocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus and the lateral zone of the posterior magnocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus.The other parts are the anterior magnocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus and the medial magnocellular part of the paraventricular nucleus.
