| ventral tier thalamic nuclei | Collective term for nuclei in the ventral part of the lateral nuclear group, e.g., ventral anterior, lateral, posterolateral, and posteromedial nuclei and the medial and lateral geniculate bodies. The basoventral nuclear complex constitutes the caudal part of the ventral tier thalamic nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |

| central thalamic radiations | Radiations formed by fibres interconnecting, through the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the ventral lateral, ventral posterolateral and posteromedial, lateral dorsal, and lateral posterior nuclei and the precentral gyrus and parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior thalamic radiations | Radiations formed by fibres interconnecting through the retrolenticular part of the posterior limb of the internal capsule, the pulvinar complex and lateral geniculate nucleus and the posterior parietal and occipital lobes of the cerebral cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| surface thalamic veins | One or more veins running a subependymal course in a coronal plane over the thalamus, terminating in the internal cerebral vein. Synonym: lateral direct veins, surface thalamic veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thalamic | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to a thalamus or to thalami. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thalamic fasciculus | Nerve fibres forming a composite bundle containing cerebellothalamic (crossed) and pallidothalamic (uncrossed) fibres that is insinuated between the thalamus and zona incerta. See: fields of Forel. Synonym: fasciculus thalamicus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thalamic gustatory nucleus | The small ventral region of the ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus in which the fibres of the gustatory lemniscus and secondary trigeminal tracts terminate; it projects to the lower part of the postcentral gyrus of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: arcuate nucleus, nucleus arcuatus thalami, nucleus arcuatus, semilunar nucleus of Flechsig, thalamic gustatory nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thalamic nuclei | Several groups of nuclei in the thalamus that serve as the major relay centres for sensory impulses in the brain. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thalamic syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome produced by infarction of the postero-inferior thalamus causing transient hemiparesis, severe loss of superficial and deep sensation with preservation of crude pain in the hypalgic limbs which frequently have vasomotor or trophic disturbances. Synonym: Dejerine-Roussy syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thalamic tenia | The sharp edge or angle between the superior and medial surface of the thalamus on either side; to it is attached the epithelial lamina forming the roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tenia ventriculi tertii, thalamic tenia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior dental branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches passing from the inferior dental plexus to the roots of the teeth of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami dentales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior gingival branches of inferior dental plexus | Branches of inferior dental plexus to the gingiva of the lower jaw. Synonym: rami gingivales inferiores plexus dentalis inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aditus glottidis inferior | The part of the cavity of the larynx immediately below the glottis. Synonym: cavitas infraglotticum, aditus glottidis inferior, cavum infraglotticum, inferior laryngeal cavity, infraglottic space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angulus inferior scapulae | The acute angle formed by junction of the medial and lateral borders of the scapula. Synonym: angulus inferior scapulae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior inferior cerebellar artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, basilar; distribution, lower surface of lateral lobes of cerebellum, choroid plexus in cerebellopontine angle; anastomoses, posterior inferior cerebellar; usual source of labyrinthine artery. Synonym: arteria cerebelli inferior anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
