    Study Notes

    Functional Organization of Thalamic Nuclei

    • Associative nuclei: receive impulses from other thalamic nuclei, process information, and send it to the association areas of the cerebral cortex
    • Examples of associative nuclei:
      • Part of dorsomedial nucleus
      • Pulvinar
      • Lateral dorsal nucleus
      • Lateral posterior nucleus

    Thalamic Nuclei Functions

    • Anterior nucleus: association; receives inputs from mamillary body and hippocampus, sends outputs to cingulate cortex
    • Medial nuclear group: association; receives inputs from amygdala, olfactory cortex, and hippocampus, sends outputs to prefrontal cortex and hippocampus
    • Lateral dorsal nucleus: association; receives inputs from amygdala, olfactory cortex, and hippocampus, sends outputs to cingulate cortex and other limbic regions
    • Lateral posterior nucleus: association; receives inputs from superior colliculus and pretectum, sends outputs to occipital, parietal, and temporal association areas

    Specific Nuclei

    • Medial geniculate nucleus: specific nucleus; receives inputs from inferior colliculus, sends outputs to primary auditory cortex
    • Lateral geniculate nucleus: specific nucleus; receives inputs from left and right eyes (optic tract), sends outputs to primary visual cortex
    • Posteromedial ventral nucleus: specific nucleus; receives inputs from trigeminothalamic tract, sends outputs to primary somatosensory cortex
    • Posterolateral ventral nucleus: specific nucleus; receives inputs from medial and spinal lemnisci, sends outputs to primary somatosensory cortex

    Thalamus Structure

    • Divided into two oval masses of grey matter
    • Relays and sends received information to the cerebral cortex
    • Axons from every sensory system (except olfaction) synapse in the thalamus as the last relay site before the information reaches the cerebral cortex

    Thalamus Surfaces and Relations

    • Lateral surface: related to the posterior limb of the internal capsule
    • Medial surface: related to the 3rd ventricle
    • Superior surface: related to the fornix and lateral ventricle
    • Inferior surface: related to the hypothalamus and subthalamus

    Internal Structure of Thalamus

    • External medullary lamina: covers the lateral surface of the thalamus, consists of thalamocortical and corticothalamic fibers
    • Internal medullary lamina: bundle of Y-shaped myelinated fibers, divides the thalamus into anterior, medial, and lateral nuclear groups

    Lateral Nuclear Group

    • Divided into dorsal and ventral tiers
    • Dorsal tier: contains lateral dorsal, lateral posterior, and pulvinar nuclei
    • Ventral tier: contains ventral anterior, ventral lateral, ventral posterior, medial geniculate, and lateral geniculate nuclei

    Functional Organization of Thalamic Nuclei

    • All thalamic nuclei project to the ipsilateral cerebral cortex, except reticular nucleus
    • Precise point-to-point projections sometimes found between individual thalamic nuclei and restricted cortical zones

    Classification of Thalamic Nuclei

    • Classified into three groups: simple sensory relay nuclei, circuit relay nuclei, and diffuse nuclei
    • Simple sensory relay nuclei: receive sensory impulses and relay them to the sensory cortex
    • Circuit relay nuclei: receive impulses from different areas of CNS and relay them to specific areas in cerebral cortex

    Limbic System

    • Set of brain structures including cortical structures, subcortical structures, and olfactory system
    • Main functions: control of emotions, emotional responses, behavior, mood, motivation, memory, and visceral and motor responses involved in survival

    Limbic System Structures

    • Limbic cortex or limbic lobe
    • Hippocampus and hippocampal formation
    • Amygdala
    • Anterior thalamic nuclei
    • Hypothalamus (mammillary body)
    • Septum
    • Fornix
    • Olfactory system
    • Habenular nuclei

    Organisation del Thalamo

    • Le thalamo es dividite in duo tieres: dorsal e ventral
    • Le tier dorsal contains:
      • Lateral dorsal (LD)
      • Lateral posterior (LP)
      • Pulvinar
    • Le tier ventral contains:
      • Ventral anterior (VA)
      • Ventral lateral (VL)
      • Ventral posterior (VP)
      • Medial geniculate nucleus
      • Lateral geniculate nucleus

    Functional Organisation del Thalamo

    • Omne thalamic nuclei projecta al cortex cerebral ipsilateral, excepto le nucleus reticular
    • Precise projections point-to-point sono trovate inter individual thalamic nuclei e zonas cortical restricted
    • Le nuclei specific lie dentro le tier ventral del grupo nuclear lateral

    Classification del Thalamo

    • Le nuclei thalamic peuvent essere classificate in tre gruppos, cada uno con quatro nuclei:
      • A) Simple Sensory Relay Nuclei:
        • Receive impulses sensory, e relay them to le cortex sensory
        • Include: PLVN, PMVN, LGB, MGB
      • B) Circuit Relay Nuclei:
        • Receive impulses from different areas del CNS, e relay them to specific areas del cortex cerebral
        • Include: Lateral ventral nucleus, anterior ventral nucleus, anterior nucleus, part del dorsomedial nucleus
      • C) Associative Nuclei:
        • Receive impulses from other nuclei thalamic, e send information processed to le areas del cortex cerebral
        • Include: part del dorsomedial nucleus, pulvinar, lateral dorsal nucleus, lateral posterior nucleus

    Functional Organisation del Nuclei Thalamic

    • Anterior nucleus:
      • Function: association
      • Inputs: mamillary body, hippocampus
      • Outputs: cingulate cortex
    • Medial nuclear group:
      • Function: association
      • Inputs: amygdala, olfactory cortex, hippocampus
      • Outputs: prefrontal cortex, hippocampus
    • Lateral dorsal nucleus:
      • Function: association
      • Inputs: amygdala, olfactory cortex, hippocampus
      • Outputs: cingulate cortex, other limbic regions
    • ... (continua con le other nuclei)

    Systema Limbic

    • Definition: un set de structuras del cerebro evolutionariamente primitive, locate sur le brainstem, e buriate sub le cortex
    • Functiones: involve emotions, motivations, sensations de pleasure, e memoria
    • Partes del systema limbic:
      • Cortical structures: limbic lobe, hippocampal formation, septal areas, prefrontal area
      • Subcortical structures: hippocampus, amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, hypothalamus, septum, fornix, olfactory system
      • Olactory system: olfactory bulb, olfactory tract, olfactory cortex

    Hippocampo

    • Location: parte del systema limbic
    • Function: involvement in memoria, emotions, e comportamento
    • Lesions: associate con loss de memoria, e alteration de comportamento
