Lateral posterior nucleus of thalamus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lateral posterior nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus. It represents the rostral continuation of the pulvinar (with which it shares comparable connections - the two may be considered a complex). It is thought to be involved in complex sensory integration.[1]
