  2. Thalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus

    The thalamus (pl.: thalami; from Greek θάλαμος, "chamber") is a large mass of gray matter on the lateral walls of the third ventricle forming the dorsal part of the diencephalon (a division of the forebrain).

  4. Spinothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinothalamic_tract

    The lateral spinothalamic tract (or lateral spinothalamic fasciculus), is a bundle of afferent nerve fibers ascending through the white matter of the spinal cord, in the spinothalamic tract, carrying sensory information to the brain. It carries pain, and temperature sensory information (protopathic sensation) to the thalamus.

  5. Lateral dorsal nucleus of thalamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_dorsal_nucleus_of...

    The lateral dorsal nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus.It is the most anterior of the dorsal lateral nuclei. [1] It is also known as the dorsal superficial nucleus. [2]It acts in concert with the anterior nuclei of thalamus.

  6. Lateral geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_geniculate_nucleus

    In neuroanatomy, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a structure in the thalamus and a key component of the mammalian visual pathway. It is a small, ovoid, ventral projection of the thalamus where the thalamus connects with the optic nerve. There are two LGNs, one on the ...

  7. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsolateral_prefrontal_cortex

    The DLPFC has connections with the orbitofrontal cortex, as well as the thalamus, parts of the basal ganglia (specifically, the dorsal caudate nucleus), the hippocampus, and primary and secondary association areas of neocortex (including posterior temporal, parietal, and occipital areas).

  9. Dorsal column nuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column_nuclei

    Both dorsal column nuclei contain synapses from afferent nerve fibers that have travelled in the spinal cord. [2] They then send on second-order neurons of the dorsal column–medial lemniscal pathway. Neurons of the dorsal column nuclei eventually reach the midbrain and the thalamus. [3] They send axons that form the internal arcuate fibers. [4]
