anteroventral part of the medial amygdalar nucleus
Acronym: MEAav
The term anteroventral part of the medial amygdalar nucleus (MEAav) refers to one of five subdivisions of the medial amygdalar nucleus in the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Dong-2004 ). The other four are the anterodorsal part of the medial amygdalar nucleus (MEAad), the posterodorsal part of the medial amygdalar nucleus (MEApd), the posteroventral part of the medial amygdalar nucleus (MEApv) and the nucleus of the accessory olfactory tract (OLTa)..
      The MEA is not ordinarily subdivided in the primate. The only part found in atlases of the primate brain is the nucleus of the accessory olfactory tract. Updated 8 Aug 2024..
