    Edward (Ted) G. Jones (March 26, 1939, Upper Hutt, New Zealand – June 6, 2011, Davis, California) was an American neuroscientist and a prolific neuroanatomist. One of his main contributions involves his Core-Matrix theory of thalamic organization. [1] He authored a highly influential book entitled The Thalamus in 1985. [2]

  3. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

    The spinothalamic tract is a nerve tract in the anterolateral system in the spinal cord. [1] This tract is an ascending sensory pathway to the thalamus.From the ventral posterolateral nucleus in the thalamus, sensory information is relayed upward to the somatosensory cortex of the postcentral gyrus.

  4. Medial lemniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_lemniscus

    The medial lemniscus carries axons from most of the body and terminates by synapsing with third-order neurons in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. [3] at the level of the mamillary bodies. Sensory axons transmitting information from the head and neck via the trigeminal nerve synapse at the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the ...

  5. Head direction cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_direction_cell

    Thus head direction cells, like place cells, were not simple sensory responses. In these models and their subsequent versions, information about changes in the animal's orientation provided by vestibular and visual motion signals were provided by off-shifted connections, while information from distal cues were provided by learned input ...

  6. Trigeminal lemniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_lemniscus

    The trigeminal lemniscus or the trigeminothalamic tracts is a somatosensory tract containing second-order neuron fibers of the trigeminal system.It consists of the ventral and dorsal trigeminal tracts.

  7. Vascular organ of lamina terminalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_organ_of_lamina...

    The vascular organ of lamina terminalis (VOLT), organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis (OVLT), or supraoptic crest [1] is a sensory organ, one of the circumventricular organs of the third ventricle within the lamina terminalis. It is covered with pia mater, and lined with ependyma.

  9. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    Beneath the lateral ventricles is the thalamus and to the front and below is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus leads on to the pituitary gland. At the back of the thalamus is the brainstem. [27] The basal ganglia, also called basal nuclei, are a set of structures deep within the hemispheres involved in behaviour and movement regulation. [28]
