Thalamus and the Internal Capsule MHD - Neuroanatomy Course February 2, 2016 Gregory Gruener, MD, MBA Vice Dean for Education, SSOM Professor & Associate Chair, Department of Neurology LUHS/Trinity and Catholic Health Care East Outcomes you need to be able to demonstrate List the major subdivisions of the diencephalon and the thalamus Identify the internal medullary lamina and intralaminar nuclei Define the three functional groups of the thalamus Summarize the function of the reticular nucleus of the thalamus List what “afferents” supply individual thalamic nuclei and where those thalamic nuclei project 1 “Basic” pathway of sensory information to the thalamus 4. Interpreted 3. Looked at & analyzed 2. Transmitted 1. Information gets collected Anterolateral tract Gray’s anatomy: The anatomical basis of clinical practice, 40th edition; Churchill Livingstone, London Thalamus Lancet Neurol 2014; 13: 100–12 General Anatomical Overview • Divisions of the Diencephalon – – – – Epithalamus (pineal gland, habenula, stria medullaris) Dorsal thalamus Subthalamus (subthalamic nucleus, zona incerta) Hypothalamus Dorsal thalamus • Internal medullary lamina – Anterior division nuclei – Medial division nuclei – Lateral division nuclei • Intralaminar nuclei • Thalamic reticular nuclei • Midline nuclei 2 Nolte J and Angevine JB.

Saunders 2012 Fitzgerald MJT, Gruener G, Mtui E. Clinical Neuroanatomy and related Neuroscience, 6th Ed., W. B. Saunders 2012 3 Common functional principles • Thalamic nuclei “decide” what information passes • Classification of nuclei – location and input/outputs • Consist of projection (majority) and inhibitory neurons • Inputs into the thalamus – Specific – e.g., posterior column/medial lemniscus pathway • Use glutamate as their neurotransmitter – Regulatory – Majority (Cortex, thalamic reticular nucleus, reticular formation, aminergic projections) Functional thalamic groups • Three groupings – Specific or relay nuclei • Well defined inputs and projections • Anterior, ventral anterior, ventral lateral, ventral posterior, lateral dorsal, medial and lateral geniculate – Association nuclei • Reciprocally connected to association cortex • Lateral posterior, pulvinar, medial dorsal nuclei – Non-specific nuclei • Not the same point-to-point connections like relay nuclei • Intralaminar and thalamic reticular nuclei Specific or relay nuclei Nolte J .
