Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The intralaminar nuclei are collections of neurons in the thalamus that are generally divided in two groups as follows:[1]

Some sources also include a "central dorsal" nucleus.

Degeneration of this area can be associated with progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson's disease.[2]
