groups of the thalamus include: *
anterior nuclear group The anterior nuclei of thalamus (or anterior nuclear group) are a collection of nuclei at the rostral end of the dorsal thalamus. They comprise the anteromedial, anterodorsal, and anteroventral nuclei. Inputs and outputs The anterior nuclei recei ...

Intralaminar nuclei The intralaminar thalamic nuclei (ITN) are collections of neurons in the internal medullary lamina of the thalamus that are generally divided in two groups as follows:Mancall, E., Brock, D. & Gray, H. (2011). Gray's clinical neuroanatomy the anatom ...
