| Thalamic nuclei: MNG = Midline nuclear group AN = Anterior nuclear group MD = Medial dorsal nucleus VNG = Ventral nuclear group VA = Ventral anterior nucleus VL = Ventral lateral nucleus VPL = Ventral posterolateral nucleus VPM = Ventral posteromedial nucleus LNG = Lateral nuclear group PUL = Pulvinar MTh = Metathalamus LG = Lateral geniculate nucleus MG = Medial geniculate nucleus |

Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:
This traditional list does not fit in several places with human thalamic anatomy
- anterior nuclear group
- anteroventral nucleus
- anterodorsal nucleus
- anteromedial nucleus
- Superficial ("lateral dorsal")
- medial nuclear group (or dorsomedial nucleus]]
- midline nuclear group or paramedian
- paratenial nucleus
- parventricular nucleus
- reuniens nucleus
- rhombodoidal nucleus
- intralaminar nuclear group
- paracentral nucleus
- central lateral nucleus
- central medial nucleus
- centre median parafascicular group
- centromedian nucleus
- parafascicular nucleus
- lateral nuclear group in fact a false entity replaced by
- Posterior region
- pulvinar
- lateral posterior nucleus belongs to pulvinar
- (lateral dorsal nucleus)belongs to anterior group
- ventral nuclear group
- ventral anterior nucleus
- ventral lateral nucleus
- ventral posterior nucleus
- ventral posterolateral
- ventral posteromedial
- metathalamus no more used for the geniculate group
- thalamic reticular nucleus part of the ventral thalamus
