A very large nucleus situated at the level of the thalamus, projects extensively to wide rgeion of the inferior parietal lobule
|
Pulvinar
|
|
|
Damage results in homonymous hemianopsia
|
Lateral geniculate nucleus

|
|
Damage results in personality and autonomic dysfunction

|
|
|
Projects to the VA and Vl nuclei
Fibers from medial pallidal segemnt and dentate nucleus of cerebellum |
thalmic fasciculus
|
|
|
Major input to the prefrontal cortex
Damage results in a flattened affect and emotionality. |
MD nucleus
Mnemonic " Some MD's become apathetic when their head get to the front." |

|
Damage to the VA or VL nuclei
|
Motor impairment

|
|
infarct of the Medial thalamus
|
MD, midline thalmus, intralaminar nuclei damage-results in drowiness, memory, and attention problems
|
|
|
An example of a specific and nonspecific thalamic nuclei
|
VA
specific-to premotor cortex Nonspecific, e.g other thalamic nuclei and many parts of the frontal lone. |
|
|
A classical example of a nonspecific thalamic nuclei
|
CM
Receives a lot of input from the cerebral cortex, providing basis for which the cerberal cortex can influence the basal gangli in addition to its direct projections to the neostratium/ |
|
|
Heat loss center
|
Anterior hypothalamus
"Keep the anterior cool" |

Two areas in the CNS that if damaged can cause a pure motor hemiparesis
|
Basilar pons and internal capsule
|
|
