Intralaminar nuclei of thalamus

Brain: Intralaminar nuclei of thalamus

Thalamic nuclei
Latin	nuclei intralaminares thalami
NeuroNames	hier-300
MeSH	intralaminar+thalamic+nuclei

The intralaminar nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus that contains the following nuclei:

central lateral
centromedian (or "central medial")
paracentral
parafascicular.

Some sources also include a "central dorsal" nucleus.

It can be associated with progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson's disease.^[1]
