Definition : A portion of the nucleus of ansa lenticularis located medial to the posterior limb
of the internal capsule, along the course of the ansa lenticularis and the inferior
thalamic peduncle or as a separate nucleus within the internal capsule adjacent to
the medial globus pallidus (NeuroNames, http://rprcsgi.rprc. washington.edu/neuronames/
(September 28, 1998)). In non-primates, the entopeduncular nucleus is analogous to
both the medial globus pallidus and the entopeduncular nucleus of human. [MeSH];
