Cells lying generally in front of Regional_part_of_septal_nuclei, lying ventral to and slightly medial to the lateral septal nucleus. Neurons in this nucleus give rise to the bulk of efferents from the septal nuclei. A major projection from the medial septal nucleus terminates in the hippocampal formation (Adapted from Brodal, 1981). [ https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues/1356 BIRNLEX:1668 ]

The medial septal nucleus is one of the septal nuclei. It plays a role in the generation of theta waves[Wikipedia:Medial_septal_nucleus].
A nucleus in the septal area, coextensive with the diagonal band of Broca; it has afferent and cholinergic efferent connections with a variety of forebrain and brain stem areas including the hippocampus, the lateral hypothalamus, the tegmentum, and the amygdaloid bodies.
