*anterodorsal nucleus
*anteromedial nucleus
*superficial
medial nuclear group
*parvocellular part
*magnocellular part
midline nuclear group or paramedian
*paratenial nucleus
*paraventricular nucleus of thalamus
*reuniens nucleus
*rhomboidal nucleus
Intralaminar nuclear group
*anterior group
**paracentral nucleus
**central
lateral nucleus
