lateral dorsal nucleus

dorsal thalamus, lateral group

A member of the lateral group of the dorsal thalamus, the lateral dorsal nucleus acts in concert with the anterior nuclei of the thalamus. It receives substantial input from several subdivisions of the visual cortex, and its primary output is directed to parietal cortex on the dorsolateral cortical convexity. Through that projection the nucleus gains access to limbic forebrain nuclei that are important for emotional and behavioural function, so it sits at a junction between visual cortical processing and limbic circuitry rather than acting as a simple sensory relay. Its functional grouping with the anterior nuclei, rather than with the principal sensory relay nuclei, reflects this connectivity. The nucleus is classified as a nucleus of the dorsal thalamus.

The lateral dorsal nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus. It acts in concert with the anterior nuclei of thalamus. It receives significant input from several subdivisions of visual cortex, and has a primary output to parietal cortex on the dorsolateral cortical convexity, giving it access to limbic forebrain nuclei important for emotion and behavior functions.
