Central lateral nucleus
(Redirected from Draft:Central Lateral Nucleus)
In the human brain, the central lateral nucleus is a part of the anterior intralaminar nucleus in the thalamus.[1]: 2 The intralaminar nuclei project to many different regions of the brain,[2]
The thalamus acts generally as a relay point for the brain for other areas of the brain to link to. The central lateral nucleus acts in a vital role in consciousness.[1][3][4]
