Which of the following thalamic nuclei does not project neocoex?

A
Intralaminar nuclei
B
Reticular nuclei
C
Pulvinar nuclei
D
Anterior thalamic nuclei
High-Yield Explanation
It has been suggested that the reticular nucleus receives afferent input from the reticular formation and in turn projects to the other thalamic nuclei, regulating the flow of information through these to the coex. This is the only thalamic nucleus that does not project to the cerebral coex, instead it modulates the information from other nuclei in the thalamus. <img src=" /> ref - vishram singh neuroanatomy 2e pg225
