The lentiform nucleus along with the caudate nuclei are collectively known as the basal ganglia. The basal ganglia is located deep inside the cerebral cortex and controls some motor functions.
The basal ganglia include the following masses of gray matter in the interior of each cerebral hemisphre: # Caudate nucleus # Lentiform nucleus # Amygdaloid nucleus A structure associated with the basal ganglia is the internal capsule.It is a large mass of white matter located between the caudate and lentiform nuclei and between the lentiform nucleus and thalamus. The caudate nucleus, internal capsule, and lentiform nucleus constitute the corpus striatum, meaning striped body.
The term corpus striatum (striated body) has been used to refer to the caudate and lentiform nuclei, or to the caudate nucleus and putamen. The name refers to the striated (striped) appearance of the internal capsule as it passes among these nuclei. The amygdaloid body, part of the limbic system, lies anterior to the tail of the caudate nucleus and inferior to the lentiform nucleus. Martini & Nath, (2009). Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology.

The nuclei is the main part of the nucleus.
nuclei is plural for nucleus, meaning more than one nucleus
Bacteria are unicellular organisms that do not have a nuclei.

A collection of cell bodies in the CNS is called a nucleus. The equivalent in the PNS is called a ganglion. There are three nuclei in the cerebrum known collectively as the Basal Ganglia but this is a misnomer as they should be called nuclei.
the singular form of nuclei is nucleus
Nuclei is the plural form of nucleus. A nucleus is the center of an atom that holds all the protons and neutrons.
