The substantia innominata (literally "unnamed substance") of Meynert is a stratum in the human brain consisting partly of gray and partly of white substance, which lies below the anterior part of the thalamus and lentiform nucleus. The gross anatomical structure is called the anterior perforated substance because, to the naked eye, it appears to be perforated by many holes (which are actually blood vessels). It is part of the basal forebrain and includes the nucleus basalis. ==Layers== It consists of three layers, superior, middle, and inferior. * The ''superior layer'' is named the ansa lentiformis, and its fibers, derived from the medullary lamina of the lentiform nucleus, pass medially to end in the thalamus and subthalamic region, while others are said to end in the tegmentum and red nucleus. * The ''middle layer'' consists of nerve cells and nerve fibers; fibers enter it from the parietal lobe through the external capsule, while others are said to connect it with the medial longitudinal fasciculus. * The ''inferior layer'' forms the main part of the inferior stalk of the thalamus, and connects this body with the temporal lobe and the insula. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「substantia innominata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
