| lateral nucleus of medulla oblongata | A group of cells in the medulla oblongata, located between the inferior olive and the descending trigeminal nucleus, receiving fibres from the spinal cord and motor cortex and projecting to the cerebellum. Synonym: nucleus lateralis medullae oblongatae, lateral reticular nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral nucleus of thalamus | The largest of the major subdivisions of the thalamus; the composite lateral nucleus includes, from before backward, the nucleus lateralis anterior or dorsalis, nucleus lateralis intermedius, nucleus lateralis posterior, and pulvinar; together, these cell groups form most of the free dorsal surface of the posterior half of the thalamus and project to a very large region of parietal, occipitoparietal, and temporal cortex; its afferent connections are largely obscure, but the nucleus lateralis posterior and the pulvinar receive a projection from the superior colliculus. Synonym: nucleus lateralis thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lateral occipital artery | <anatomy, artery> One of the terminal branches of the posterior cerebral artery; it supplies, by several named branches, the lateral portions of the temporal lobe. Synonym: arteria occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipital sulcus | One of several variable sulci on the lateral aspect of the occipital lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, bounding the lateral occipital convolutions. Synonym: sulcus occipitalis lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral occipitotemporal gyrus | An extremely long convolution extending lengthwise over the inferior aspect of the temporal and occipital lobes, demarcated medially by the collateral sulcus from the lingual gyrus and the anterior part of the parahippocampal gyrus, laterally by the inferior temporal sulcus from the inferior temporal gyrus. Synonym: gyrus occipitotemporalis lateralis, gyrus fusiformis, lateral occipitotemporal gyrus, lobulus fusiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
