  1. Dorsal “Thalamus” Medical Neuroscience Dr. Wiegand

  2. The Diencephalon

  3. Interthalamic adhesion Thalamus Epithalamus (Pineal & Habenula) Hypothalamus Pituitary Subthalamus The Diencephalon

  4. The “Dorsal” Thalamus • Sensory integration nucleus – gateway to the cerebral cortex • Afferents from both rostral and caudal central nervous system structures • Efferents primarily to cerebral cortex via four principal “radiations” • Associated with motor, sensory, limbic and vegetative functions

  5. External medullary lamina Anterior n. 3rd Ventricle Internal capsule Internal capsule Lateral n. Medial n. * Reticular n. Internal medullary lamina * Interthalamic adhesion
