Details for anatomical structure: thalamus

EndoNet ID: ENC00413

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

thalamus, cerebral ganglion, dorsal thalamus, Thalamus

General information

The large part of the diencephalon located dorsal to the hypothalamus and excluding the subthalamus and the medial and lateral geniculate bodies; it includes the major motor and somatosensory relay nuclei, nuclei that project to association areas, and the intralaminar nuclei

Secreted hormones

  • Hormone: apelin-31

  • Hormone: apelin-36

  • Hormone: fractalkine

Receptors

  • Receptor: NMU-R2

  • Receptor: mGluR4

  • Receptor: CRF-R1

  • Receptor: dopamine receptor D2

  • Receptor: dopamine receptor D5

  • Receptor: NPSR1

    Induced phenotype:

    • arousal
      • The arousal-promoting effect of NPS might be partially mediated by NPSRs expressed in thalamic midline nuclei, as this brain structure is known to act as a relay between arousal centers of the brainstem and the cortex. [1]
