  2. Medial geniculate nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_geniculate_nucleus

    There are two main cell types in the ventral subnucleus of the medial geniculate body (VMGN): Thalamocortical relay cells (or principal neurons): The dendritic input to these cells comes from two sets of dendritic trees oriented on opposite poles of the cell. The long axis of the relay cells lie parallel to each other running superior ...

  3. Inferior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_colliculus

    The inferior colliculus also receives descending inputs from the auditory cortex and auditory thalamus (or medial geniculate nucleus). [3] The medial geniculate body (MGB) is the output connection from inferior colliculus and the last subcortical way station. The MGB is composed of ventral, dorsal, and medial divisions, which are relatively ...

    medial pulvinar nucleus [28] inferior pulvinar nucleus [29] lateral posterior nucleus [30] belongs to pulvinar; lateral dorsal nucleus [31] (a.k.a. dorsal superficial nucleus) ventral nuclear group [32] ventral anterior nucleus [33] ventral lateral nucleus [34] ventral medial [35] (a.k.a. medial part of ventral lateral nucleus) anterior ventral ...

  5. Auditory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_system

    The medial geniculate nucleus divides into: ventral (relay and relay-inhibitory cells: frequency, intensity, and binaural info topographically relayed), dorsal (broad and complex tuned nuclei: connection to somatosensory info), and; medial (broad, complex, and narrow tuned nuclei: relay intensity and sound duration).

  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. Superior colliculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_colliculus

    The brachium of superior colliculus (or superior brachium) is a branch that extends laterally from the superior colliculus, and, passing to the thalamus between the pulvinar and the medial geniculate nuclei, is partly continued into an eminence called the lateral geniculate nucleus, and partly into the optic tract.

  8. The Climax You’ve Been Looking For - The Huffington Post

    projects.huffingtonpost.com/projects/cliteracy/...

    From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.

  9. Internal capsule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_capsule

    The retrolenticular part contains fibers from the optic system, coming from the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus. More posteriorly, this becomes the optic radiation. Some fibers from the medial geniculate nucleus (which carry auditory information) also pass in the retrolenticular internal capsule, but most are in the sublenticular part.
