Talk:List of thalamic nuclei

I

I removed the few data giving the connections that are explained in the text. I did not make too many modifications to what is the commonly learned list coming from Walker (1938).Many small nuclei on the midline for instance no more exist in humans. I would simply add that there is no lateral (or dorsal) group since its major part, the pulvinar, belongs to the posterior group, along with the lateralis posterior which is a simple anterior extension. On his side, the lateralis dorsalis is a part of the anterior or superior group dealing with information from the subiculum and fornical system -user:gerard.percheron

weega Classification of Thalamic Nuclei

Prof Adel Bondok, Prof of Anatomy and Neuroscience, Mansoura University, Egypt, adopted a new classification of the thalamic nuclei based on their function and connection so that medical students can easily recognize them and remeber their function and will not be puzzled anymore between anatomists and physiologists. He called this classification "Bondok's Classification".

According to the main function, location and connection of the thalamic nuclei, the thalamic nuclei are divided into 5 groups:

   1.  2 Specific Motor Nuclei: ventral anterior nucleus and ventral lateral nucleus.
   2.  2 Specific Sensory Nuclei: ventral posterior nucleus and metathalamus (medial and lateral geniculate bodies).
   3.  2 Limbic System Nuclei: anterior nucleus and medial nucleus.
   4.  2 Reticular Activating System Nuclei: reticular nucleus and intralaminar nucleus.
   5.  3 Association Nuclei: the 3 dorsal nuclei (lateral dorsal, lateral posterior and pulvinar)

Ventrobasal complex

Where does the ventrobasal complex fit into this organization? Thanks Vokesk (talk) 13:15, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

submedius thalamic nucleus?

I was (audio) reading an article on the thalamus. They mentioned submedius thalamic nuclei? Where is it, anatomically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Robot 2020 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

@Mr Robot 2020 This is 4 years late. But in case anyone's interested, the BrainInfo web site does have a submedial nucleus: BrainInfo NeuroName 364. They say that humans, monkeys, rats and mice have this nucleus. As to the location, the BrainInfo NeuroName 1759 web page says that the ventromedial nucleus "is equivalent to part of the ventral nuclear group lateral to the submedial nucleus in the classical segmentation of the thalamus". That might or might not give a clue. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 15:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Parvocellular and magnocellular parts of dorsomedial nucleus

The links provided for parvocellular part and magnocellular part in the list of thalamic nuclei article are apparently wrong because they redirect to pages about parvocellular and magnocellular cells in the LGN. That's clearly irrelevant. So I'm thinking of removing the links and requesting deletion of the redirects. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 16:24, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Now what I've done is to create a section of the medial dorsal nucleus with correct information on the parvicellular/parvocellular and magnocellular parts. (See medial dorsal nucleus#Parts of nucleus.) Then I have updated the targets for the corresponding redirects to go there. Alan U. Kennington (talk) 06:16, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
