Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy

The lateral posterior nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus. It represents the rostral continuation of the pulvinar (with which it shares comparable connections - the two may be considered a complex). It is thought to be involved in complex sensory integration. [1]

Anatomy

Connections

Additional connections include the: inferior parietal lobule, cingulate cortex, and medial portion of parahippocampal gyrus. [2]

Afferents

Afferents of the LPN project from the: occipital lobe, precuneus, superior parietal lobule, pretectal area, and superior colliculus. [1]

Efferents

The LPN issues efferents to the precuneus, superior parietal lobule, [1] temporal lobe, and visual association area. [3]

Other animals

In rodents, the lateral posterior nucleus is considered the homologue of the primate pulvinar. [4]
