Centromedian nucleus

The nucleus is the largest non-specific intralaminar centromedian nucleus of the thalamus. His afferents it receives among other things, the pallidum, premotor cortex and reticular formation ( ARAS ). Efferent the nucleus centromedian among other things, the caudate nucleus, putamen and other thalamic nuclei connected. Based on the fiber bonds the core functions of this complex are significantly. As part of the thalamic ARAS this core plays an important role as a non-specific wake-up system and the connections to the basal ganglia (eg, globus pallidus ) it is switched on in the processing of motor impulses.
