Thalamic Nuclei >
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ventral posterior lateral nucleus (VPL) | input from the medial lemniscus and spinothalmic tract to cortex |
| ventral mediolateral nucleus (VML) | input from the trigeminal lemniscus, trigeminothalamic tract, and taste inputs to the somatosensory and taste cortex |
| lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) | inputs from the retina to the primary visual cortex |
| medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) | inputs from the inferior colliculus to the primary auditory cortex |
| ventral lateral nucleus | info from basal ganglia and cerebellum to cortex |
| ventral anterior nucleus | info from basal ganglia and cerebellum to cortex (diffuse to frontal cortex) |
| mediodorsal nucleus | limbic to frontal cortex |
| pulvinar | tectum (visual and other sensory info) to large regions of the parietal, temporal, and occipital association cortex--> involved in behavioral orientation towards relevant stimuli |
| anterior nucleus | limbic to cingulate gyrus |
| intralaminar nuclei | involved in alertness |
| reticular nucleus | GABAergic neurons (inhibitory)--> regulate thalamic activity |
