List of thalamic nuclei

List article

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
  - 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
