Basal forebrain
The
basal
forebrain
is a collection of structures located to the front of and below the
striatum
. It includes the
nucleus accumbens
,
nucleus basalis
,
diagonal band of Broca
,
substantia innominata
, and medial
septal nuclei
. These structures are important in the production of
acetylcholine
, which is then distributed widely throughout the brain. The basal forebrain is considered to be the major
cholinergic
output of the
central nervous system
(CNS).
