Structural and Functional Mapping

Talk

The medial geniculate nucleus (MGB) is part of the metathalamus and plays an important role in processing auditory information. Previous maps of the human brain did not include subdivisions of the MGB – limiting their use for data integration, modelling and simulation. Here we aim at overcoming this limitation by creating cytoarchitectonic maps of the MGB in the BigBrain (Amunts et al., 2013) ...

5. Cytoarchitectonic mapping and analysis of the VIM nucleus of the thalamus in ten human post mortem brains including the BigBrain2

Structural and Functional Mapping

Talk

The nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM) of the thalamus is located in the ventral part of the ventrolateral posterior thalamus and exhibits increased connectivity especially with the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum and the primary motor cortex through the dentato-rubro-thalamic tract. Selective lesioning of the VIM is a well-established neurosurgical target for the treatment of patients with...
