It begins midway in the posterior third of the medial geniculate in the cat and is prominant anteriorly. The boundary between the dorsal and ventral divisions is demarcated in rat by a thick horizontally oriented axon bundle, the midgeniculate bundle (Webster, 1995, fig 16). medial geniculate nucleus, ventral part BTO:0002671 BAMS:VMG medial geniculate complex, ventral part nucleus geniculatus medialis pars ventralis nucleus ventralis corporis geniculati medialis VMG nucleus of dorsal thalamus
