The septum in the human brain

Abstract: D e p a r t m e n t of N e u r o s u r g e r y , U n i v e r s i t y of Mississippi Medicul C e n t e r .

It was possible to divide i t into two parts: septum pellucidum, composed of fiber tracts and… Show more

“…This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that growth of both the hippocampus and corpus callosum during fetal development results in a pushing together of the leaflets of septi pellucidi, which fuse; abnormalities in this process may lead to a lack of fusion (cavum septi pellucidi). Of note, the septum pellucidum is an important relay station with the hippocampus and hypothalamus, as well as being part of the limbic system that regulates emotion and motivational behavior (51,52). Disturbances in this system may, therefore, lead to distortions of perception, cognition, and behavior seen in schizophrenia.…”

“…Supporting this hypothesis, focal lesions of rostromedial basal forebrain structures, including the septohypotalamic area, can produce predatory aggression and changes in sexual behavior in humans and animals (Gorman and Cummings, 1992). Furthermore, stimulation of this region elicits pleasurable experiences and prosocial behavior (Bishop et al, 1963;Andy and Stephan, 1968;Irvin et al, 1990). In addition, functional neuroimaging studies in humans have implicated these subcortical structures in individual differences in attachment styles (Gillath et al, 2005), mother-infant bonding (Strathearn et al, 2009), maternal (Bartels and Zeki, 2004) and romantic (Aron et al, 2005) love, and in altruism, cooperation, and trust (Moll et al, 2006;Krueger et al, 2007;Koscik and Tranel, 2011).…”

“…1A, 2A-B)-Magnocellular neurons at the level of the area subcallosa and gyrus rectus stretching from just below the fused midline of the septum to the ventral edge of the brain and extend close to the medial border of the nucleus accumbens. This compartment largely corresponds to the medial septal nucleus and the nucleus of the diagonal band of Broca as defined by Andy and Stephan (1968). In the more dorsal part of this area, corresponding to the Ch1 group of Mesulam et al (1983), the cell bodies and initial dendrites of the neurons tend to be oriented perpendicularly to the crossing fibers of the anterior commissure in coronal sections.…”
