The ventral lateral nucleus receives neuronal inputs from the basal ganglia which includes the substantia nigra and the globus pallidus. ... The ventral posterior nucleus is the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain. ... The ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) is a nucleus of the thalamus. ... The ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) is a nucleus of the thalamus which projects to the postcentral gyrus and receives information from the medial lemniscus. ... The medial dorsal nucleus is a a large nucleus in the thalamus. ... The lateral nuclear group is a collection of nuclei on the lateral side of the thalamus. ... The pulvinar is the caudal-most nucleus of the thalamus that is conventionally divided into oral, inferior, lateral, and medial subnuclei. ... The intralaminar nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus which contains the following nuclei: central lateral centromedian (or central medial) paracentral parafascicular Some sources also include a central dorsal nucleus. ... In anatomy, the centromedian nucleus, also known as the centrum medianum, (CM or Cm-Pf) is a part of the intralaminar nucleus (ILN) of the thalamus. ... The midline nuclear group (or midline thalamic nuclei) a region of the thalamus consisting of the following nuclei: paraventricular nucleus of thalamus (nucleus paraventricularis thalami) - not to be confused with paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus paratenial nucleus (nucleus parataenialis) reuniens nucleus (nucleus reuniens) rhomboidal nucleus (nucleus commissuralis rhomboidalis) subfascicular nucleus (nucleus...

The metathalamus is a composite structure of the thalamus, consisting of the medial geniculate nucleus and the lateral geniculate nucleus. ... The medial geniculate nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus that acts as a relay for auditory information. ... Grays FIG. 719– Hind- and mid-brains; postero-lateral view. ... The medial surface of the thalamus constitutes the upper part of the lateral wall of the third ventricle, and is connected to the corresponding surface of the opposite thalamus by a flattened gray band, the Interthalamic adhesion (massa intermedia, middle commissure, gray commissure). ... The third ventricle is one of the four connected fluid-filled cavities within the human brain. ... At the junction of the floor and anterior wall of the third ventricle, immediately above the optic chiasma, the ventricle presents a small angular recess or diverticulum, the optic recess (or supraoptic recess). ... The floor of the third ventricle is prolonged downward as a funnel-shaped recess, the infundibular recess, into the infundibulum, and to the apex of the latter the hypophysis is attached. ...
