Component items:

Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (NSA.FD.LGN): Temporal decorrelation
Medial Geniculate Body (NSA.FD.TH.MGB): Detection of the relative intensity and duration of a sound, relay to Auditory Cortex
Ventral Posterior Nuclei (NSA.FD.TH.VP)
- Ventral Posteroinferior Nucleus (NSA.FD.TH.VPI): Relays pain and temperature from body to insula
- Ventral Posterolateral Nucleus (NSA.FD.TH.VPL): Relays somatic information from body to S1
- Ventral Posteromedial Nucleus (NSA.FD.TH.VPM): Relays somatic information from face to S1
Pulvinar (FD.PV)
- Inferior Pulvinar (NSA.FD.TH.IPV): Dorsal =Where= Stream
- Lateral Pulvinar (NSA.FD.TH.LPV): Ventral =What= Stream
- Medial Pulvinar (NPE.FD.TH.MPV): Integration of associative cortical information and projects to visuomotor-related cortex
- Oral Pulvinar (NPE.FD.TH.OPV): Somatosensory functions
Posterior Thalamus (FD.TH.PTH)
- Limitans Nucleus of Thalamus (FEC.FD.TH.LI): Multisensory projection to striatum
- Suprageniculate Nucleus of Thalamus (NSA.FD.TH.SG): Spatial coding of auditory information
- Submedial Nucleus of Thalamus (NDM.FD.TH.SM): Pain center
