This traditional list does not accord strictly with human thalamic anatomy.
Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:
- anterior nuclear group[1] (anteroventral,[2] anterodorsal,[3] anteromedial[4])
- medial nuclear group (medial dorsal nucleus,[5] a.k.a. dorsomedial)
- parvocellular part[6] (a.k.a. parvicellular part)
- magnocellular part[7]
- midline nuclear group[8] or paramedian
- paratenial nucleus[9]
- paraventricular thalamus[10]
- reuniens nucleus[11] (a.k.a. medioventral nucleus)
- rhomboidal nucleus[12]
- interanteromedial[13][14]
- intermediodorsal[13][15]
- intralaminar nuclear group[16]
- anterior (rostral) group[17]
- paracentral nucleus[18]
- central lateral nucleus[19]
- central medial nucleus[20] (not called "centromedial")
- posterior (caudal) intralaminar group
- anterior (rostral) group[17]
- lateral nuclear group[13][23] is replaced by
- posterior region[24]
- pulvinar[25]
- lateral posterior nucleus[30] belongs to pulvinar
- lateral dorsal nucleus[31] (a.k.a. dorsal superficial nucleus)
- ventral nuclear group[32]
- ventral anterior nucleus[33]
- ventral lateral nucleus[34]
- ventral medial[35] (a.k.a. medial part of ventral lateral nucleus)
- anterior ventral lateral[36]
- posterior ventral lateral[37]
- ventral posterior nucleus[38] or ventrobasal complex
- ventral posterolateral nucleus[39]
- ventral posteromedial nucleus[42]
- ventral posteroinferior nucleus[43] (probably same as ventral intermediate nucleus)
- posterior region[24]
- metathalamus[44]
- thalamic reticular nucleus[47] part of the ventral thalamus
