The lateral dorsal nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus.It is the most anterior of the dorsal lateral nuclei. [1]It acts in concert with the anterior nuclei of thalamus.. It receives significant input from several subdivisions of visual cortex, and has a primary output to parietal cortex on the dorsolateral cortical convexity, giving it access to limbic forebrain nuclei important for emotion ...
The thalamus (pl.: thalami; from Greek θάλαμος, "chamber") [1] 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). Nerve fibers project out of the thalamus to the cerebral cortex in all directions, known as the thalamocortical radiations ...
62209. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] 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 ...
List of thalamic nuclei. Thalamic nuclei: MNG = Midline nuclear group. AN = Anterior nuclear group. MD = Medial dorsal nucleus. VNG = Ventral nuclear group. VA = Ventral anterior nucleus. VL = Ventral lateral nucleus. VPL = Ventral posterolateral nucleus.
FMA. 62200. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) is a nucleus of ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus. [1] It relays sensory information from the second-order neurons of the neospinothalamic tract and medial lemniscus (of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway) which synapse ...
It also has inputs from the cerebellum (via the dentatothalamic tract). It sends neuronal output to the primary motor cortex and premotor cortex. The ventral lateral nucleus in the thalamus forms the motor functional division in the thalamic nuclei along with the ventral anterior nucleus. The ventral lateral nucleus receives motor information ...
Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] The ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) is a nucleus of the thalamus and serves an analogous somatosensory relay role for the ascending trigeminothalamic tracts as its lateral neighbour the ventral posterolateral nucleus serves for dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway 2nd-order neurons. [1]
The posterolateral tract (fasciculus of Lissauer, Lissauer's tract, tract of Lissauer, dorsolateral fasciculus, dorsolateral tract, zone of Lissauer) is a small strand situated in relation to the tip of the posterior column close to the entrance of the posterior nerve roots. It is present throughout the spinal cord, and is most developed in the ...
