Which of the following thalamic nuclei does not project neocoex?
Correct Answer: Reticular nuclei
Description: It has been suggested that the reticular nucleus receives afferent input from the reticular formation and in turn projects to the other thalamic nuclei, regulating the flow of information through these to the coex. This is the only thalamic nucleus that does not project to the cerebral coex, instead it modulates the information from other nuclei in the thalamus. <img src=" /> ref - vishram singh neuroanatomy 2e pg225
