Thalamic nuclei

Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:
 * anterior nuclear group - associated with the limbic system, projects to cingulate cortex
 * anteroventral nucleus
 * anterodorsal nucleus
 * anteromedial nucleus
 * medial nuclear group
 * dorsomedial nucleus
 * parvocellular part
 * magnocellular part
 * midline nuclear group
 * paratenial nucleus
 * parventricular nucleus
 * reuniens nucleus
 * rhombodoidal nucleus
 * intralaminar nuclear group
 * centromedian nucleus
 * parafascicular nucleus
 * paracentral nucleus
 * central lateral nucleus
 * central medial nucleus
 * lateral nuclear group
 * lateral dorsal nucleus
 * lateral posterior nucleus
 * pulvinar - a visual "association" nucleus
 * ventral nuclear group
 * ventral anterior nucleus - receives input from basal ganglia and projects to premotor cortex
 * ventral lateral nucleus - receives input from basal ganglia and projects to motor cortex
 * ventral posterior nucleus
 * ventral posterolateral - receives sensory information from the body
 * ventral posteromedial - receives sensory information from the face
 * metathalamus
 * medial geniculate body - receives auditory information (via brachium from inferior colliculus of midbrain)
 * lateral geniculate body - receives visual information from the optic tract
 * thalamic reticular nucleus
