The medial dorsal nucleus relays inputs from the amygdala and olfactory cortex and projects to the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system, [5] [6] and in turn relays them to the prefrontal association cortex. As a result, it plays a crucial role in attention, planning, organization, abstract thinking, multi-tasking, and active memory.
The midline nuclear group (or midline thalamic nuclei) is a region of the thalamus consisting of the following nuclei: paraventricular nucleus of thalamus (nucleus paraventricularis thalami) - not to be confused with paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus; paratenial nucleus (nucleus parataenialis) nucleus reuniens (also known as the ...
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]
Thalamocortical radiations also innervate gustatory and olfactory pathways, as well as pre-frontal motor areas. Visual input from the optic tract is processed by the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, auditory input in the medial geniculate nucleus, and somatosensory input in the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus.

The nucleus reuniens is a region of the thalamic midline nuclear group. [1] [2] In the human brain, it is located in the interthalamic adhesion (massa intermedia). [3] [4] It is also known as the medioventral nucleus. [5] The nucleus reuniens receives afferent input from a large number of structures, mainly from limbic and limbic-associated ...
This nucleus group is one of the three regions of the thalamus which result from trisection by the Y-shaped internal medullary lamina. [ 1 ] The name "lateral nuclear group" is also given to a subset of the lateral group of nuclei which result from trisection by the internal medullary lamina.
They also are commonly referred to as laminae medullares thalami or medullary layers of thalamus. The specific layers are: [ 1 ] Lamina medullaris lateralis (external medullary lamina) [ 2 ] — separates ventral and lateral thalamus from the subthalamus and thalamic reticular nucleus
