Stria medullaris of thalamus

The stria medullaris, also known as stria medullaris thalami, is a fiber bundle containing efferent fibers from the septal nuclei, lateral preoptico-hypothalamic region, and anterior thalamic nuclei to the habenula. It forms a horizontal ridge on the medial surface of the thalamus.

It projects to the habenular nuclei.

It is considered part of the epithalamus in NeuroNames, but part of the thalamus in Terminologia Anatomica.
