The medial dorsal nucleus (or mediodorsal nucleus of thalamus, dorsomedial nucleus, dorsal medial nucleus, or medial nucleus group) is a large nucleus in the thalamus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is separated from the other thalamic nuclei by the internal medullary lamina .
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 ...
For the visual system, for example, inputs from the retina are sent to the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, which in turn projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. [32] Similarly the medial geniculate nucleus acts as a key auditory relay between the inferior colliculus of the midbrain and the primary auditory cortex.

central lateral nucleus; central medial nucleus (not referred to as "centromedial" [2]) paracentral nucleus; posterior (caudal) intralaminar group centromedian nucleus; parafascicular nucleus; Some sources also include a "central dorsal" nucleus.
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]
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 ...
Parabrachial neurons in rodents that relay taste information to the ventroposterior parvocellular (taste) nucleus of the thalamus are mainly CGRP neurons in the external medial parabrachial nucleus and they project predominantly contralaterally, as well as a smaller number in the ventral lateral nucleus, which project mainly ipsilaterally.
