Preferred Label : tegmentum mesencephali;
MeSH definition : Portion of midbrain situated under the dorsal TECTUM MESENCEPHALI. The two ventrolateral
cylindrical masses or peduncles are large nerve fiber bundles providing a tract of
passage between the FOREBRAIN with the HINDBRAIN. Ventral MIDBRAIN also contains three
colorful structures: the GRAY MATTER (PERIAQUEDUCTAL GRAY), the black substance (SUBSTANTIA
NIGRA), and the RED NUCLEUS.;
