ventral posterolateral nucleus

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

Ventral posterolateral nucleus, which e.g. receives sensory information from the body.

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

Touch/position information from the body is sent to the ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) of the thalamus.

The ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) is a nucleus of the thalamus.

It corresponds to the caudal part of the ventral posterolateral nucleus, which receives input from the medial lemniscus.

More specifically, its fibers convey crude touch information to the VPL (ventral posterolateral nucleus) part of the thalamus.

The concentration of this chemokine is increased in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus where secondary nociceptive neurons make connections with other neurons.

The medial lemniscus carries axons from most of the body and synapses in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus, at the level of the mamillary bodies.

The axons of these second order neurons then decussate, joining the spinothalamic tract as they ascend to neurons in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus.

Secondary axons from the medial lemniscus finally terminate in the ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL) of the thalamus, where they synapse with tertiary neurons.

The VB consists of the Ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) and the Ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL).

Second order neospinothalamic tract neurons carry information from A-delta fibers and terminate at the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus, where they synapse on third order neurons (dendrites of the somatosensory cortex).

The axons travel up the rest of the brainstem, and synapse at the thalamus (at the ventral posterolateral nucleus for sensation from the neck, trunk, and extremities, and at the ventral posteromedial nucleus for sensation from the head).

Stimulation of the periaqueductal gray and periventricular gray for nociceptive pain, and the internal capsule, ventral posterolateral nucleus and ventral posteromedial nucleus for neuropathic pain has produced impressive results with some patients but results vary and appropriate patient selection is important.

It originates in the cerebellar nuclei, crosses completely in the decussation of the brachium conjunctivum, bypasses the red nucleus, and terminates in parts of the ventral anterior nucleus, ventral intermediate, ventral posterolateral nucleus, and central lateral nuclei of the thalamus.
