Suggested nomenclature for

CELL GROUP	SYNONYMOUS NAME	REFERNCES
Neurons with projections from prethalamus to the thalamus (PTh-Th)	TRN Ventral thalamus	Mitrofanis and Guillery (1993) Métin and Godement (1996) Molnár et al., 1998a,b; Molnár and Cordery, (1999) Tuttle et al., (1999) Mitrofanis (1992) as the perireticular nucleus. Braisted et al (1999)
Neurons with projections from ventral telencephalon to the thalamus (VTel-Th)	Perireticular cell Perireticular nucleus Internal capsule guidepost cells	Mitrofanis and Guillery (1993) Métin and Godement (1996) Molnár et al., (1998a,b); Molnár and Cordery, (1999) Tuttle et al., (1999) Mitrofanis (1992) as the perireticular nucleus. Braisted et al (1999)
Neurons with projections from ventral telencephalon to cortex (VTel-Cx)	Nucleus basalis Métin and Godement, (1996) and Adams and Baker, 1995 described numerous cells from the pallidum with projections to the cortex, they associated these labelled cells with the perireticular nucleus (Admas and Baker, 1995).	Adams and Baker, (1995) Coleman and Mitrofanis, (1999) Métin and Godement (1996)
Corridor cells	The adult equivalent of these cells is not clear. We do not know the proportions of the surviving cells. The distinctions between VTel-Cx from the corridor cells is not resolved.	López-Bendito et al., (2006); Bielle et al., (2011a)
