  2. Head direction cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_direction_cell

    HD cells are found in many brain areas, including the cortical regions of postsubiculum (also known as the dorsal presubiculum), retrosplenial cortex, [10] and entorhinal cortex, [11] and subcortical regions including the thalamus (the anterior dorsal [12] and the lateral dorsal [13] thalamic nuclei), lateral mammillary nucleus, [14] dorsal ...

  3. Medial geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_geniculate_nucleus

    The medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) or medial geniculate body (MGB) is part of the auditory thalamus and represents the thalamic relay between the inferior colliculus (IC) and the auditory cortex (AC). [1]

  4. Primary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_somatosensory_cortex

    Although initially defined to be roughly the same as Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2, more recent work by Kaas has suggested that for homogeny with other sensory fields only area 3 should be referred to as "primary somatosensory cortex", as it receives the bulk of the thalamocortical projections from the sensory input fields. [1]

  5. Thalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus

    The thalamus has many connections to the hippocampus via the mammillothalamic tract. This tract comprises the mammillary bodies and fornix. [27] The thalamus is connected to the cerebral cortex via the thalamocortical radiations. [28] The spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway originating in the spinal

  6. Contralateral brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contralateral_brain

    The contralateral organization of the forebrain (Latin: contra‚ against; latus‚ side; lateral‚ sided) is the property that the hemispheres of the cerebrum and the thalamus represent mainly the contralateral side of the body. Consequently, the left side of the forebrain mostly represents the right side of the body, and the right side of ...

  7. Thalamic fasciculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamic_fasciculus

    The thalamic fasciculus is a component of the subthalamus (ventral thalamus). It is synonymous with field H 1 of Forel.Fibers from the lenticular fasciculus (field H 2 of Forel), are joined by fibers from the ansa lenticularis – different parts of the internal globus pallidus, before they enter the ventral anterior nucleus of the thalamus to form the thalamic fasciculus.

  8. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map_(neuroanatomy)

    In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.

  9. Postcentral gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcentral_gyrus

    In neuroanatomy, the postcentral gyrus is a prominent gyrus in the lateral parietal lobe of the human brain.It is the location of the primary somatosensory cortex, the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch.
