The ventral reticular nucleus is a continuation of the parvocellular nucleus in the brainstem.

The information is relayed to the medial dorsal and ventral anterior nuclei of the thalamus.

One spot that is particularly rich in receptors is known as the ventral medial nucleus.

The ventral lateral nucleus (VL) is a nucleus of the thalamus.

The ventral lateral nucleus receives motor information from the cerebellum and the globus pallidus.

Output from the ventral lateral nucleus then goes to the primary motor cortex.

Most likely, neurons intrinsic to the ventral posterolateral nucleus make at least some of it.

In some species the ventral posterolateral nucleus, pars caudalis is also a part of the VB.

The ventral anterior nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus.

It acts with the anterior part of the ventral lateral nucleus to modify signals from the basal ganglia.
