medial medullary lamina (mml)

The term medial medullary lamina refers to a thin white structure identified by Nissl and myelin stains in the basal ganglia of primates. It is located in the globus pallidus between the medial globus pallidus and the lateral globus pallidus ( Carpenter-1983 ).

Also known as: medial medullary lamina, Lamina medullaris medialis, Globus pallidus, lamina medullaris interna, medial medullary lamina of pallidum, internal medullary lamina of lentiform nucleus, inner medullary lamina, medial medullary stria, internal medullary lamina of globus pallidus, Lamina medullaris interna pallidi, medial medullary lamina of globus pallidus, Lamina pallidi interna, Lamella pallidi interna

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.
