List of thalamic nuclei
This traditional list does not accord strictly with human thalamic anatomy.

Nuclear groups of the thalamus include:
- 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
- paraventricular nucleus of thalamus
- reuniens nucleus
- rhomboidal nucleus
- Intralaminar nuclear group (Intralaminar nuclei)
- anterior (rostral) group
- paracentral nucleus
- central lateral nucleus
- central medial nucleus
- posterior (caudal) intralaminar group
- centromedian nucleus
- parafascicular nucleus
- anterior (rostral) group
- 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 intermediate nucleus
- ventral posterior nucleus or ventrobasal complex
- ventral posterolateral
- ventral posteromedial
- ventral intermediate nucleus
- posterior region
- metathalamus no longer used for the geniculate group
- thalamic reticular nucleus part of the ventral thalamus
