anterior nucleus of thalamus
anterior thalamic nucleus

It acts in concert with the anterior nuclei of thalamus.

The anterior nuclei of thalamus (or anterior nuclear group) are a collection of nuclei at the rostral end of the dorsal thalamus.

The posterior fibres (called the postcommissural fornix) of each side continue through the hypothalamus to the mammillary bodies; then to the anterior nuclei of thalamus, which maps to cingulate cortex.

These findings imply damage to anterior thalamic nuclei can result in disruptive memory.

Hypothalamic effects reach the cortex via a relay in the anterior thalamic nuclei."

Two years later, Taube found HD cells in the nearby anterior thalamic nuclei.

The retrosplenial cortex has dense reciprocal projections with both the anterior thalamic nuclei and the hippocampus.

The limbic system is made up of several brain structures including the hippocampus, amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, septum, limbic cortex and fornix.

The stria medullaris, also known as stria medullaris thalami, is a fiber bundle containing afferent fibers from the septal nuclei, lateral preoptico-hypothalamic region, and anterior thalamic nuclei to the habenula.

He hypothesized that the hippocampus, the cingulate gyrus (Broca's callosal lobe), the hypothalamus, the anterior thalamic nuclei, and the interconnections among these structures constituted a harmonious mechanism which elaborate the functions of emotions.

The bilateral interruption or severing of the connection between thalamocortical radiations the medial and anterior thalamic nuclei results in a prefrontal lobotomy, which causes a drastic personality change and a subdued behavioral disposition without cortical injury.
