====== Pulvinar ======

{{ ::pulvinar.png?400|}}

The pulvinar is the largest [[nucleus]] of the [[thalamus]] and has strong connectivity with the [[visual cortex]]. The pulvinar is a prototypic association nucleus that participates in reciprocal cortico-cortical interactions and promotes synchronized oscillatory activity in functionally related areas of the [[cortex]].



The pulvinar is usually grouped as one of the lateral thalamic nuclei in rodents and carnivores, and stands as an independent complex in primates.
