midline group of the dorsal thalamus
Acronym:
The term midline group of the dorsal thalamus refers to a composite substructure of the thalamus defined on the basis of connectivity and function in the rat ( Swanson-2004 ) and the mouse ( Dong-2004 ). It is one of five components of the polymodal association thalamus in the Functional CNS Model - Rat (see Models Where It Appears below). It includes the paratenial nucleus, the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus and the reuniens nucleus of the classical midline nuclear group; it does not include the rhomboid nucleus or the subfascicular nucleus of that group.
