Subthalamic Nucleus

The subthalamic nucleus is a small lens-shaped structure in the brain where it is, from a functional point of view, part of the basal ganglia system. In terms of anatomy, it is the major part of the subthalamus. As suggested by its name, the subthalamic nucleus is located in the thalamus. It is recapitulated in the antantia nigra and meditation in the anterior capsule. It was first described by Jules Bernard Luys in 1865, and the term corpus Luysi or Luyys body is still used. The main type of neuron found in the subthalamic nucleus is long-lived, with spiny dendrites. In the neurons located in the center, the dendritic arches have a more ellipsoidal shape. The sizes of these drugs are the same in all other species - including rat, cat, monkey and man - which are rare. However, the number of neurons increases with the size of the brain and the outer size of the nucleus.
