ventral paramedian reticular nucleus (VPRt)

The term ventral paramedian reticular nucleus refers to one of three cell groups comprising the paramedian reticular nuclei in the medullary reticular formation of the human. The others are the accessory paramedian reticular nucleus and the dorsal paramedian reticular nucleus ( Carpenter-1983 ).

Models Where It Appears
Structural CNS Model - Macaque

Brain structures of the macaque are illustrated in BrainInfo’s NeuroMaps macaque brain atlas. Structures are grouped by proximity in a hierarchy corresponding to the central nervous system hierarchy of NeuroNames ( Bowden-1995 Martin-2000 ). Structures in the NeuroMaps atlas are based on the segmentation of an MRI of the brain of a 3-year old male rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The atlas is most useful for targeting structures for implantating electrodes and chemtrodes. Updated 29 Oct 2025.
