Brain: Ventral reticular nucleus Latin nucleus reticularis ventralis NeuroNames hier-730 The ventral reticular nucleus is a continuation of the parvocellular nucleus in the brainstem.
The ventral reticular nucleus has been shown to receive afferent projections from the dentate gyrus in rabbits [1].
The rostral portion of the ventral reticular nucleus has been shown to mediate inspiration along with a portion of the lateral reticular nucleus.
