MODULE 14
SUGGESTED READING
Digital:
1) Review of Clinical and Functional Neuroscience by Rand Swenson.This brief chapter gives a good overall view of the thalamus
Print:
1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld.
----- 1) Blumenfeld's Figure 2.2 will remind you that the thalamus is one component (but by far the largest one) of the diencephalon. The diencephalon, together with the telencephalon, form the prosencephalon or forebrain. His Figure 2.20 shows, in schematic fashion, how the centrally placed thalamus is the "gateway" to the cerebral cortex.
- - - 2) The thalamus is discussed in Chapter 7, on pages 271-6. Table 7.3 summarizes the nuclei, and Figures. 7.6, 7.7 & 7.8 illustrate the position and connections of the nuclei.
2) Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience by M. J. Turlough Fitzgerald, Gregory Gruener and Estomih Mtui.
----- The thalamus is covered in Chapter 27, starting on page 297.
3) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.
- - - 1) Haines covers the diencephalon in Chapter 15, starting on Page 230. The treatment of the dorsal thalamus (= the thalamus) is on Pages 233-238.
