Thalamus
Hierarchy level in atlas is 2: 1 superstructures include it.

Species
Mouse
Description of part
The delineation of the thalamic nuclei is based on its characteristics in the rat as described by Price (1995) and Paxinos and Watson (1986). For descriptions of the thalamus of the mouse, see Baker et al. (1993) and Carvell and Simons (1987). The nomenclature follows Price (1995).
Part type
gray matter
Nomenclature
Paxinos/Franklin-2001
Endorsement
The approach used by the collator Mihail Bota is not endorsed by the author of the nomenclature.
Collator argument
The hierarchy of this region was constructed using the rat atlas Paxinos and Watson 1998 and Price 1995. See also Swanson 1992.
