Unreferenced stub date December 2009 In neuroanatomy , a nucleus is a brain structure consisting of a relatively compact cluster of neuron s. It is one of the two most common forms of nerve cell organization, the other being layered structures such as the cerebral cortex or cerebellum cerebellar cortex . In anatomical sections, a nucleus shows up as a region of gray matter , often bordered by white matter . The vertebrate brain contains hundreds of distinguishable nuclei, varying widely in shape and size. A nucleus may itself have a complex internal structure, with multiple types of neurons arranged in clumps subnuclei or layers. The term nucleus is in some cases used rather loosely, to mean simply an identifiably distinct group of neurons, even if they are spread over an extended area. The Thalamic reticular nucleus reticular nucleus of the thalamus , for example, is a thin layer of inhibitory neurons that surrounds the thalamus. Some of the major anatomical components of the brain are organized as clusters of interconnected nuclei. Notable among these are the thalamus and hypothalamus , each of which contains several dozen distinguishable substructures. The medulla oblongata medulla and pons also contain numerous small nuclei with a wide variety of sensory, motor, and regulatory functions. In the peripheral nervous system , a cluster of neurons is referred to instead as a ganglion . Examples Brainstem red nucleus , vestibular nucleus , inferior olive Cerebellum dentate nucleus , emboliform nucleus , globose nucleus , fastigial nucleus Basal ganglia striatum caudate and putamen , pallidum globus pallidus , medial and lateral , substantia nigra , subthalamic nucleus Cranial nerve nuclei See also Brain Nervous system DEFAULTSORT Nucleus Neuroanatomy Category NeuroanatomyNeuroanatomy stub de Nucleus ZNS he ja pl J dro neuroanatomia pt N cleo neuroanatomia th ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 Merge from Sulci anatomy date August 2010 The term sulcus pl. sulci is a general descriptive term for a furrow or fissure. It is used in many disciplines, such as geology , but in Morphology biology morphological and Anatomy anatomical connections it usually refers to a groove as a feature in the surface of a limb or an organ, notably in the surface of the brain , but also in the lung s, certain muscle s including the heart , as well as in many Osteology bones , and various other major morphological features, both internal and external. Many sulci are the product of a surface fold or junction, such as in the Gingiva gums , where they fold around the Cementoenamel junction neck of the tooth. File Gingival sulcus.PNG thumb Gingival sulcus at neck of mammalian tooth The term sulcus also is used in botany and palynology to describe the surface Morphology biology morphology of seeds and pollen grains, and in Invertebrate zoology to describe folds, grooves, and boundaries, especially at the edges of sclerite s or between Segmentation biology segments .

Development in humans During human prenatal development fetal development , the hippocampal sulcus first appears at approximately 10 weeks of gestational age . At this stage it exists as a broad shallow fissure along the surface of the dentate gyrus. Gradually, the fissure deepens and shifts toward the cornu ammonis . After about 18 weeks, the walls of the fissure fold into each other and begin to fuse. By 30 weeks, the hippocampal sulcus is normally obliterated except for its most medial part, leaving a shallow surface indentation. ref name humphrey Humphrey, Tryphena.
