septal nucle

Examples of septal nucle in the following topics:

• Limbic System

  • Fornix: A white matter structure that carries signals from the hippocampus to the mammillary bodies and septal nuclei.
  • The septal nuclei receive reciprocal connections from the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, midbrain, habenula, cingulate gyrus, and thalamus.

• Epithalamus and Pineal Gland

  • The stria medullaris, also known as stria medullaris thalami, is a fiber bundle containing afferent fibers from the septal nuclei, lateral preoptic hypothalamic region, and anterior thalamic nuclei to the habenula.

• Congenital Heart Defects

  • Mutations of a heart muscle protein, α-myosin heavy chain (MYH6) are associated with atrial and septal defects.
  • Mutations of all these proteins are associated with both atrial and ventricular septal defects.
  • Figure B shows two common locations for a ventricular septal defect.

• Heart Murmurs

  • Finally, a ventricular septal defect presents with a holosystolic murmur and is best heard at the left lower sternal border.

• Biology of Sexual Behavior

  • Beneath the cortex is the limbic system, which consists of the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulate gyrus, and septal area.

• Technological Advancement

  • He repaired an atrial septal defect in an 18-year-old woman.
