The pulvinar is the caudal-most nucleus of the thalamus. The pulvinar is usually grouped as one of the "lateral thalamic nuclei".

Divisions

It is conventionally divided into oral, inferior, lateral, and medial subnuclei.

* The "lateral" and "inferior" pulvinar have widespread connections with visual cortical association areas.

* The "oral" pulvinar predominantly has connections with somatosensory cortical association areas.

* The "medial" pulvinar has widespread connections with cingulate, posterior parietal, and prefrontal cortical areas.

Pathology

Lesions of the pulvinar can result in neglect syndromes and attentional deficits.
