aMolecularly defined nucleus in adult mice without clear definition in stained sections used in this study of the rhesus monkey
bNucleus of basal plate origin with mixed progenitor and migratory pattern from hp1 and hp2 proposed by the prosomeric model (Puelles et al. 2012). Ontological analysis of progenitor area and adult derivatives in mouse were adapted from the same authors
