Preferred Label : dorsal plus ventral thalamus;
Uberon definition : Subcortical brain region consisting of paired gray matter bodies in the dorsal diencephalon
and forming part of the lateral wall of the third ventricle of the brain. The thalamus
represents the major portion of the diencephalon and is commonly divided into cellular
aggregates known as nuclear groups.(MeSH). The dorsal topographic division of the
interbrain. The macrodissected adult human thalamus was clearly illustrated by Vesalius
in 1543 and the term as defined here was introduced by His in 1893. It includes the
traditional epithalamus, dorsal thalamus, and ventral thalamus of Herrick (1910, pp.
494, 498). Also see Kuhlenbeck (1927, Ch. 9) and Jones (1985, p. 87).;
