medial hypothalamic zone (Crosby)
The term medial hypothalamic zone (Crosby) refers to one of three zones of the hypothalamus when it is subdivided by planes parallel to the midline. The others are the periventricular zone of the hypothalamus and the lateral zone of the hypothalamus. It is identical to the medial zone of the hypothalamus except that it excludes nuclei of the preoptic area and includes the dorsal hypothalamic area ( Crosby-1962 ).
Also known as: medial hypothalamic zone (Crosby), middle hypothalamic zone (Crosby)
