lateral nuclear group lateral nuclear group the lateral nuclear group is a collection of nuclei on the lateral side of the thalamus. according to mesh, it consists of the following: lateral dorsal nucleus lateral posterior nucleus pulvinar anatomy of the diencephalon of the human brainepithalamussurface pineal gland habenula habenular trigone habenular commissure grey matter pretectal area habenular nuclei subcommissural organ thalamussurface stria medullaris of thalamus thalamic reticular nucleus taenia thalami grey matter/nuclei paired: an ventral va/vl vp/vpm/vpl lateral ld lp pulvinar nuclei metathalamus mg lg p cell m cell k cell midline: md intralaminar centromedian midline nuclear group interthalamic adhesion white matter mammillothalamic tract pallidothalamic tracts ansa lenticularis lenticular fasciculus thalamic fasciculus pcml medial lemniscus trigeminal lemniscus spinothalamic tract lateral lemniscus dentatothalamic tract acoustic radiation optic radiation subthalamic fasciculus anterior trigeminothalamic tract medullary laminae hypothalamussurface median eminence/tuber cinereum mammillary body infundibulum grey matterautonomic zones anterior (parasympathetic/heat loss) posterior (sympathetic/heat conservation) endocrine posterior pituitary: paraventricular magnocellular neurosecretory cell parvocellular neurosecretory cell supraoptic oxytocin/vasopressin other: arcuate (dopamine/ghrh) preoptic (gnrh) suprachiasmatic (melatonin) emotion lateral ventromedial dorsomedial white matter afferent stria terminalis medial forebrain bundle retinohypothalamic tract efferent mammillothalamic tract dorsal longitudinal fasciculus pituitary posterior is diencephalon, but anterior is glandular subthalamus subthalamic nucleus zona incerta nuclei campi perizonalis (fields of forel) lateral nuclear groupthalamic nuclei: mng = midline nuclear groupan = 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 nucleusthalamic nucleiidentifiersmeshd020647neuronames325neurolex idbirnlex_1537anatomical terms of neuroanatomy this article is issued from wikipedia. the text is licensed under creative commons - attribution - sharealike. additional terms may apply for the media files.
