Lenticular fasciculus
Encyclopedia
The lenticular fasciculus is a tract connecting the globus pallidus to the Thalamic fasciculus. The thalamic fasciculus
(composed of the lenticular fasciculus and ansa lenticularis
) runs into the Thalamus. It is sometimes considered synonymous with "field H2 of Forel".

Thalamic fasciculus
The thalamic fasciculus is a component of the subthalamus. It is sometimes considered synonymous with "field H1 of Forel". Nerve fibres forming a composite bundle containing cerebellothalamic and pallidothalamic fibres that is insinuated between the thalamus and zona incerta.The thalamic...

Globus pallidus
The globus pallidus also known as paleostriatum, is a sub-cortical structure of the brain. Topographically, it is part of the telencephalon, but retains close functional ties with the subthalamus - both of which are part of the extrapyramidal motor system...

Thalamus
The thalamus is a midline paired symmetrical structure within the brains of vertebrates, including humans. It is situated between the cerebral cortex and midbrain, both in terms of location and neurological connections...
