| Brain: List of thalamic nuclei | ||
|---|---|---|
| Thalamic nuclei: MNG = Midline nuclear group AN = Anterior nuclear group MD = Medial dorsal nucleus VNG = Ventral nuclear group VA = Ventral anterior nucleus VL = Ventral lateral nucleus VPL = Ventral posterolateral nucleus VPM = Ventral posteromedial nucleus LNG = Lateral nuclear group PUL = Pulvinar MTh = Metathalamus LG = Lateral geniculate nucleus MG = Medial geniculate nucleus | ||
| MeSH | Thalamic+nuclei | |
Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:
This traditional list does not fit in several places with human thalamic anatomy
- anterior nuclear group
- anteroventral nucleus
- anterodorsal nucleus
- anteromedial nucleus
- Superficial ("lateral dorsal")
- medial nuclear group (or dorsomedial nucleus]]
- midline nuclear group or paramedian
- intralaminar nuclear group
- centre median parafascicular group
- lateral nuclear group in fact a false entity replaced by
- Posterior region
- pulvinar
- lateral posterior nucleus belongs to pulvinar
- (lateral dorsal nucleus)belongs to anterior group
- ventral nuclear group
- metathalamus no more used for the geniculate group
- thalamic reticular nucleus part of the ventral thalamus
