Fig. 9. Thalamus.

Fig. 9

(A-L) The MR signal intensity differences between dorsal thalamus (anterior, medial, intralaminar, and posterior groups), epithalamus (habenular complex), and geniculate region (geniculate body) in PA/DEC-FOD and MTR images, and the corresponding subregions in the histological sections stained with SMI-32, and AchE. See also inline Suppl Fig. 3 for these thalamic subregions in other MRI parameters and histological sections. (K, inset) Heterogenous staining of neuropil within the medial (Hm) and lateral (Hl) subregions of the habenular complex in SMI-32 stained section. (M) The spatial location and overall extent of the anterior, lateral, posterior, and some medial groups of thalamic nuclei in 3D, reconstructed using ITK-SNAP.
