1895 M. Campbell tr. O. Hertwig Cell vii. 266 Their sexual apparatus has split up into two kinds of nuclei, which differ physiologically, i.e. into the chief nucleus (macro-nucleus) and into one or more sub-nuclei or sexual nuclei (micronuclei).

1921 Science 30 Sept. 284/2 There is evidence in the case of oxygen and nitrogen of the expulsion of other sub-nuclei whose precise structure is a matter for further inquiry.

1957 Amer. Jrnl. Sociol. 63 178/1 More should learned of the growth tendencies of different types of subnuclei in the metropolitan ring.

1969 Radiation Res. 37 411 The high proportion of embryos showing subnuclei after x-irradiation suggested that death was due to aneuploidy.

1881 Jrnl. Nerv. & Mental Dis. 8 325 There is a tendency in higher animals to a differentiation of the motor cell-groups into sub-nuclei related to separate muscles or groups of muscles.

1889 Hahnemannian Monthly Oct. 610 There is, undoubtedly, a pathway for nervous impulse from the centre in each of the anterior corpora quadrigemina to the subnucleus of the third nerve.

1905 W. S. Hall Text-bk. Physiol. x. 706 The disease known as polioencephalitis superior seems to afford excellent substantiation for these assertions clinically, the successive paralyses involving these subnuclei in this order of anatomic arrangement.

1930 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 11 Jan. 60/2 The oculomotor nucleus has been resolved by anatomists into a very definite series of paired and unpaired subnuclei, and an attempt has been made to invest these subnuclei with local function.

1985 Acta Anatomica 122 99 Those neurones innervating the quadratus muscle were found in the dorsomedial and dorsolateral subnuclei.

2007 Proc. National Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 104 1989/1 To determine the extent to which subnuclei of the major thalamic divisions are molecularly distinct, we used high-density oligonucleotide arrays to identify thalamus-specific genes in adult monkeys.
