Fig. 1 — Thalamic nuclei and the anterior thalamic nuclei (ANT) highlighted in yellow.

This image depicts the left thalamus, a key relay center in the brain, with the ANT prominently highlighted in yellow. Abbreviations in the figure include IA (Interthalamic adhesion), MGN (medial geniculate nucleus), and LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus). The ANT is known to play a crucial role in learning and memory processes, as well as in spatial navigation. These findings underscore the importance of the thalamus, and the ANT in particular, in a variety of brain functions. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the Web version of this article.)
