Abstract

The bed nucleus of the ansa lenticularis (BNAL) was studied by the rapid Golgi method in the mouse. It was composed of large and small neurons; the latter were the main constituents. Dendrites of the BNAL neurons were distributed only within the confines of the ansa lenticularis (AL). Axons of BNAL neurons ran ventromedially or dorsolaterally along the AL. Terminal fibers in the BNAL arose from fine collaterals of fibers running in the ventral portions of the lentiform nucleus.
