Both of its segments deriving from independent structures are relatives of the subthalamic nucleus.

This conclusion is the result of a meticulous analysis of the brains of 48 human embryos and fetuses, of several human newborns and infants, and of a number of animal (mammalian) embryos and adults. The findings are illustrated in chronological order by beautiful photographs of tissue sections and, for ultimate clarity, by three dimensional reconstruction models designed by the author.
