  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. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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]

  6. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    Olfaction is the only sensory system that is not routed through the thalamus. Vision: The visual area known as V1, striate cortex, or (primary visual cortex, Brodmann area 17) is located on the calcarine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe.

  7. Cerebellothalamic tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellothalamic_tract

    The cerebellothalamic tract or the tractus cerebellothalamicus, is part of the superior cerebellar peduncle.It originates in the cerebellar nuclei, crosses completely in the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncle, bypasses the red nucleus, and terminates in posterior division of ventral lateral nucleus of thalamus.

  8. Sensory gating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_gating

    Information from sensory receptors make their way to the brain through neurons and synapse at the thalamus. The pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus plays a major role in attention, and has a major role in filtering out unnecessary information in regards to sensory gating. In a proven clinical study, it has been found out that the two stimuli (S1 ...

  9. 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.
