The color-coded diagram presents the main direct connections of the anterodorsal (AD), anteroventral (AV), and anteromedial (AM) thalamic nuclei in the rat brain. Black arrows depict reciprocal connections, green efferents, and red afferents of the three anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN). Structures in blue contain head direction cells, and so constitute a part of the hierarchically organized head direction system (Clark and Taube, 2012). The various indirect connections of the ATN, along with the connections between other highlighted structures, are not included in this scheme.
