Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

![CDATA[The thalamus is a large mass of gray matter in the forebrain with two major components, the dorsal and the ventral thalamus (Murray Sherman, 2006). The dorsal part of the thalamus consists of a set of relay nuclei that transmit primary sensory information to cerebral cortex (Murray Sherman, 2006). Early in development, the thalamus gets divided into two progenitor domains, the caudal and the rostral domain. The caudal domain is responsible for the development of glutamatergic neurons in different thalamic nuclei (Blumenfeld & Gummadavelli, 2018). Similarly, the rostral domain also leads to the formation of thalamic reticular nucleus.]]
