| 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) |
| lateral thalamic peduncle | The massive group of fibres that emerges from the laterodorsal side of the thalamus to join the corona radiata; it reciprocally connects the lateral nucleus and the geniculate bodies of the thalamus with the corresponding regions of the cerebral cortex. Synonym: pedunculus thalami lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory tubercle | A small apophysis at the posterior part of the base of the transverse process of each of the lumbar vertebrae. Synonym: processus accessorius, accessory tubercle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic tubercle | The slight prominence of the floor of the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle, corresponding to the underlying cochlear and vestibular nuclei. Synonym: acoustic tubercle, trigonum acustici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adductor tubercle | The prominence above the medial epicondyle of the femur to which the tendon of the adductor magnus attaches. Synonym: tuberculum adductorium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amygdaloid tubercle | A projection from the roof of the anterior end-portion of the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle, marking the location of the amygdaloid nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anatomical tubercle | postmortem wart |
| anterior tubercle of atlas | A conical protuberance on the anterior surface of the arch of the atlas. Synonym: tuberculum anterius atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tubercle of cervical vertebrae | The anterior projection from the transverse process. Synonym: tuberculum anterius vertebrarum cervicalium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tubercle of thalamus | anterior thalamic tubercle |
| articular surface of tubercle of rib | An oval facet on the inferomedial part of the tubercle of a rib for articulation with a facet on the transverse process of a vertebra. Synonym: facies articularis tuberculi costae. (05 Mar 2000) |
