welcome back in this article. I’ll try to teach you everything that you need to know about the thalamic nuclei. for your step 1 exam I’ll put all fella make nuclei in this table in one page so you can compare them and memorize them better so each nuclei have an input and since it’s something and then it has not worked.
first we have the lateral geniculate nucleus it has an input from the optic nerve and it senses vision on the output over to the occipital lobe to the calcarine sulcus and because we have a lateral geniculate nucleus will also have medial geniculate nucleus and it receives input from the olive nucleus and inferior colliculus. it senses sound and the output will be to the temporal loop then we have the ventral lateral nucleus. which has input from the basal ganglia and the cerebellum and it since his motor plan and the output will be to the frontal ventral posteromedial will have an input from the trigeminal nerve.
and they get such a pathway it Wilson’s face and taste and the output will be to the parietal loop. ventral posterolateral will have a link between the spinothalamic tract and the dorsal Commons the spinothalamic actual sense pain and temperature and the dorsal criminals is vibration and pressure. and the output will be to the parietal loop. alright guys that’s everything I’ve got I start to put everything in one page or one table. so you could just look at them all at once and memorize them I’m hopeful I made this easier for you and until then see you later.
