| 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) |
| ventral | 1. Pertaining to the belly or to any venter. 2. Denoting a position more toward the belly surface than some other object of reference, same as anterior in human anatomy. Origin: L. Ventralis (18 Nov 1997) |
| ventral anterior nucleus of thalamus | The most rostral of the subdivisions of the ventral nucleus, receiving projections from the globus pallidus and projecting to the premotor and frontal cortex. Synonym: nucleus ventralis anterior thalami. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral aortas | The paired vessels ventral to the pharynx, which give rise to the aortic arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventral border | The ventral or most forward margin of a structure. Synonym: anterior margin, ventral border. (05 Mar 2000) |
