What is Diencephalic Nuclei, Functional Localization, and Atlas of the Diencephalon about?

The thalamic nuclei of the diencephalon is the major subcortical region that supplies input onto the cerebrum. There are many nuclei in the thalamus, but they can be divided into an anterior, medial, and lateral nuclear group. And then divided functionally into sensory and motor relay (ventrobasal and lateral posterior nuclei), limbic (anterior, medial lateral dorsal, midline and intralaminar nuclei), speci c associational-multimodal somatic nuclei (pulvinar complex), special sensory (lateral geniculate nucleus and medial geniculate nucleus), and nonspeci c associational (reticular and intralaminar nuclei). A case demonstrating the e ects of a thalamic lesion is included. The diencephalon appears as a large region at the upper end of the brain stem. All the ascending ber pathways from the spinal cord and brain stem terminate upon nuclei in the diencephalon. From these nuclei the information is relayed onto the cerebral cortex. Due to the convergence of all major ascending sensory, motor, autonomic, and reticular systems, consciousness for general sensations is rst realized at this level. In addition, the ascending motor information from the cerebellum mixes with the striatal and co
