Preferred Label : sulcus limitans of fourth ventricle;
Uberon definition : In the floor of the fourth ventricle, the sulcus limitans separates the cranial nerve
motor nuclei (medial) from the sensory nuclei (lateral). In the superior part of the
rhomboid fossa, it corresponds with the lateral limit of the fossa and presents a
bluish-gray area, the locus ceruleus (which owes its color to an underlying patch
of deeply pigmented nerve cells, termed the substantia ferruginea). [WP];
