Preferred Label : ventral nucleus of medial geniculate body;
Uberon definition : Ventral division of medial geniculate body, first described by Morest (1964) in the
cat, but found in primate, mouse and rat as well. It begins midway in the posterior
third of the medial geniculate in the cat and is prominant anteriorly. The boundary
between the dorsal and ventral divisions is demarcated in rat by a thick horizontally
oriented axon bundle, the midgeniculate bundle (Webster, 1995, fig 16).;
