ventral striatum (STRv)
The term
ventral striatum refers to a composite structure of the
endbrain that is defined in the
striatopallidal system by
connectivity and neurochemical staining. It includes the
nucleus accumbens, the most
ventral portions of the
caudate nucleus and the
putamen, the rostrolateral portion of the
olfactory tubercle, the
islands of Calleja and a
rostral subcommissural portion of
substantia innominata. The boundary between the
ventral striatum and
dorsal striatum is indistinct in sections stained for Nissl substance (
Heimer-1995 ).
