The substantia innominata remains incognita: pressing research themes on basal forebrain neuroanatomy.
The neuroanatomical research by Heimer and colleagues has focused on the structure of, and connectivity between, basal forebrain regions as well as on the translational significance of this research. By outlining several pressing research themes and questions concerning the neuroanatomy of the basal forebrain, as seen from a biopsychologist's perspective, the importance of continuing and expanding neuroanatomical research on the basal forebrain is illustrated.
