Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy[edit on Wikidata]

This traditional list does not accord strictly with human thalamic anatomy.

Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:

• anterior nuclear group (anteroventral, anterodorsal, anteromedial)
• medial nuclear group (medial dorsal nucleus, a.k.a. dorsomedial)
  • parvocellular part (a.k.a. parvicellular part)
  • magnocellular part
• midline nuclear group or paramedian
  • paratenial nucleus
  • paraventricular thalamus
  • reuniens nucleus (a.k.a. medioventral nucleus)
  • rhomboidal nucleus
  • interanteromedial
  • intermediodorsal
• intralaminar nuclear group
  • anterior (rostral) group
    • paracentral nucleus
    • central lateral nucleus
    • central medial nucleus (not called "centromedial")
  • posterior (caudal) intralaminar group
    • centromedian nucleus
    • parafascicular nucleus
• lateral nuclear group is replaced by
  • posterior region
    • pulvinar
      • anterior pulvinar nucleus
      • lateral pulvinar nucleus
      • medial pulvinar nucleus
      • inferior pulvinar nucleus
    • lateral posterior nucleus belongs to pulvinar
    • lateral dorsal nucleus (a.k.a. dorsal superficial nucleus)
  • ventral nuclear group
    • ventral anterior nucleus
    • ventral lateral nucleus
      • ventral medial (a.k.a. medial part of ventral lateral nucleus)
      • anterior ventral lateral
      • posterior ventral lateral
    • ventral posterior nucleus or ventrobasal complex
      • ventral posterolateral nucleus
        • oral part of the ventral posterolateral nucleus
        • caudal part of the ventral posterolateral nucleus
      • ventral posteromedial nucleus
      • ventral posteroinferior nucleus (probably same as ventral intermediate nucleus)
• metathalamus
  • medial geniculate body
  • lateral geniculate body
• thalamic reticular nucleus part of the ventral thalamus
