Uberon definition : The thalamic fasciculus is a component of the subthalamus. It is sometimes considered
synonymous with 'field H1 of Forel'. Nerve fibres forming a composite bundle containing
cerebellothalamic (crossed) and pallidothalamic (uncrossed) fibres that is insinuated
between the thalamus and zona incerta. The thalamic fasciculus consists of the joint
fibers of the ansa lenticularis and the lenticular fasciculus, coming from different
portions of the medial globus pallidus, before they jointly enter the ventral lateral
nucleus of the thalamus.;
