Caudate Nucleus
Description
The Caudate Nucleus is a component of the Striatum (itself a component of the Basal Ganglia of the Cerebrum of the Brain). It is shaped like a curved tail with a bulb at one end and contains Nigrostriatal Neurons that originate in the Substantia Nigra of the Brain - i.e. it "shares" (receives) Dopaminergic Neurons with the Substantia Nigra.
