Abstract
The ventral thalamus, as usually defined in the adult brain, consists of the reticular nucleus, the zona incerta, and the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (Fig. 15.1). To this, many authors add the nucleus of the fields of Forel. The subthalamic nucleus, though sometimes included in the ventral thalamus by older authors and by some current describers of the human diencephalon, is excluded on account of its different developmental origin (Rose, 1942a; Chapter 6).
⋯What if the Sun Be center to the World, and other Starrs By his attractive vertue and thir own Incited, dance about him various rounds?
