To follow common usage, lateral nuclei are called "ventral".

Output from the ventral lateral nucleus then goes to the primary motor cortex.

The operculum has a lateral nucleus.

The ventral lateral nucleus receives motor information from the cerebellum and the globus pallidus.

Lateral nucleus can refer to:

It acts with the anterior part of the ventral lateral nucleus to modify signals from the basal ganglia.

The ventral lateral nucleus (VL) is a nucleus of the thalamus.

Research has also shown that the lateral nucleus of the amygdala is a crucial site of neural changes that occur during fear conditioning.

Lateral nucleus of the trapezoid body (LNTB)

Some send axons to the substantia nigra medially and the medial and lateral nuclei of the pallidum laterally (3-target 21.3%).

Damage to the mammillothalamic tract, ventral anterior nucleus, and ventral lateral nucleus can result in memory and language impairment.

Moreover, LeDoux says, cells in this corner of the amygdala, known as the lateral nucleus, "learn" and memorize the fearful stimulus with incredible rapidity and tenacity.

The lateral pallidum is the lateral nucleus of the pallidum, the external "segment" of the globus pallidus (GPe, ).

The ascending fibers either end in the same manner or in the lateral nucleus, which is situated lateral to the area acustica and farther from the ventricular floor.

It includes the ventral anterior nucleus and the medial part of the ventral lateral nucleus which receive projections primarily from the substantia nigra.

The second-order neurons ultimately synapse on neurons in the ventral posterior lateral nucleus (VPL) of the thalamus.

They provide connectivity between the globus pallidus and the thalamus, primarily the ventral anterior nucleus and the ventral lateral nucleus.

The fibers of this fasciculus then travel to the thalamus and primarily terminate in the ventral anterior nucleus and ventral lateral nucleus.

Both electrodes were positioned within the central lateral nucleus, the paralaminar regions of the median dorsalis, and the posterior-medial aspect of the centromedian/parafasicularis nucleus complex.

The ventral lateral nucleus in the thalamus forms the motor functional division in the thalamic nuclei along with the ventral anterior nucleus.

The function of the ventral lateral nucleus is to target efferents including the motor cortex, premotor cortex, and supplementary motor cortex.

Researchers observed that "The ventral lateral nucleus has long been established as an effective surgical target for controlling distal limb tremor, including Parkinson Disease tremor.

It is the addition of a lateral nucleus VPL and of the superior part of the classic arcuate nucleus VPM.

Research indicates that, during fear conditioning, sensory stimuli reach the basolateral complexes of the amygdalae, particularly the lateral nuclei, where they form associations with memories of the stimuli.

This may occur due to damage in the mammillary bodies, ventral anterior nucleus, and ventral lateral nucleus which has resulted in disruption in language in previous research.
