rostrolateral division of the periaqueductal gray
Acronym:
The term rostrolateral division of the periaqueductal gray refers to one of three divisions of the rostral third of the periaqueductal gray as segmented in the functionally defined motor periaqueductal gray. It is a narrow band of cells bounded medially by the rostromedial division of the periaqueductal gray and laterally by the nucleus of the posterior commissure and the midbrain reticular nucleus. The third component of the rostral third of the motor periaqueductal gray is the rostral third of the medial division of the periaqueductal gray. Functionally the motor periaqueductal gray belongs to the behavior control column of the cerebrospinal trunk ( Swanson-2004 ).
