The
basal forebrain comprises several cellular groups of different
sizes that are situated in the rostral and ventral aspect of
the telencephalon. The nuclei usually considered together here
are the caudate nucleus, putamen and globus pallidus, entopeduncular
nucleus, the accumbens, islands of Calleja and substantia inominata,
the paraolfactory cortex, septum, diagonal band of Broca, nuclei
of the anterior commissure, and the lateral ventral portions
of the hypothalamus.
In the three figures displayed below, these various nuclei can be identified.
