Abstract
The use of the term “intralaminar nuclei” or “nuclei of the internal medullary lamina” dates back to Vogt (1909) and Friedemann (1911). According to its literal definition, the term “intralaminar nuclei” refers to the nuclear structures which lie within the internal medullary lamina of the thalamus. However, in its most common use, this term indicates the nuclear structures which are topographically related to three distinct regions of the thalamus of mammals. The first, the central medial nucleus (CeM), is located at the midline between the internal medullary laminae of the two sides. The second is located laterally in the anterior part of each internal medullary lamina, and includes the paracentral (Pc) and central lateral (CL) nuclei. The third expands posteriorly in a splitting of the internal medullary lamina and includes the posterior intralaminar, centre median (CM), and parafascicular (Pf) nuclei, which are commonly designated as the CM-Pf complex in the species in which they can both be identified (see Section 2).
