supratrochlear nucleus

The term supratrochlear nucleus refers to a group of nerve cells in a location dorsal to the trochlear nucleus. It is variously defined by different authors based on whether they identify it with the dorsal raphe nucleus, the dorsal tegmental nucleus, or as an independent entity within the periaqueductal gray. A discussion of different definitions of the supratrochlear nucleus is presented in Anthoney-1994.

Also known as: supratrochlear nucleus, Nucleus supratrochlearis, Nucleus supratrochlearis substantiae griseae
