This traditional list does not accord strictly with human thalamic anatomy.
Nuclear groups of the thalamus include: anterior nuclear groupBrainInfo NeuroName 302 (anteroventral,BrainInfo NeuroName 305 anterodorsal,BrainInfo NeuroName 303 anteromedialBrainInfo NeuroName 304) medial nuclear group (medial dorsal nucleus,BrainInfo NeuroName 312 dorsomedial) parvocellular partBrainInfo NeuroName 315 ( parvicellular part) magnocellular partBrainInfo NeuroName 314 midline nuclear groupBrainInfo NeuroName 306 or paramedian paratenial nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 307 paraventricular thalamusBrainInfo NeuroName 308 reuniens nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 309 ( medioventral nucleus) rhomboidal nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 310 interanteromedialBrainInfo NeuroName 1830 intermediodorsalBrainInfo NeuroName 1868 intralaminar nuclear groupBrainInfo NeuroName 317 anterior (rostral) groupBrainInfo NeuroName 318 paracentral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 322 central lateral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 320 central medial nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 321 (not called "centromedial") posterior (caudal) intralaminar group centromedian nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 323 parafascicular nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 324 lateral nuclear group is replaced by posterior regionBrainInfo NeuroName 362 pulvinarBrainInfo NeuroName 328 anterior pulvinar nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 329 lateral pulvinar nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 330 medial pulvinar nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 331 inferior pulvinar nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 332 lateral posterior nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 327 belongs to pulvinar lateral dorsal nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 326 ( dorsal superficial nucleus) ventral nuclear groupBrainInfo NeuroName 333 ventral anterior nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 334 ventral lateral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 337 ventral medialBrainInfo NeuroName 340 ( medial part of ventral lateral nucleus) anterior ventral lateralBrainInfo NeuroName 338 posterior ventral lateralBrainInfo NeuroName 339 ventral posterior nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 343 or ventrobasal complex ventral posterolateral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 344 oral part of the ventral posterolateral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 345 caudal part of the ventral posterolateral nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 346 ventral posteromedial nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 347 ventral posteroinferior nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 350 (probably same as ventral intermediate nucleus) metathalamusBrainInfo NeuroName 351 medial geniculate bodyBrainInfo NeuroName 355 lateral geniculate bodyBrainInfo NeuroName 353 thalamic reticular nucleusBrainInfo NeuroName 365 part of the ventral thalamus
