Abstract

In the set of large neurones extending from the medial septum to the caudal end of the corpus striatum, the basal magnocellular complex (Divac, 1975), a central place is occupied by the basal nucleus of Meynert (nBM). In many animals, the assembly of magnocellular neurons in the same topographic region has been labelled as magnocellular preoptic nucleus (MCPO) by Loo (1931), nucleus of the diagonal band (Johnston, 1923) or of its horizontal limb (DBh) by Price (1969), Zaborsky et al (1986) and others.
