The intralaminar nuclei are collections of neurons in the thalamus that are generally divided in two groups as follows:

anterior (rostral) group

central medial nucleus

paracentral nucleus

central lateral nucleus

posterior (caudal) intralaminar group

centromedian nucleus

parafascicular nucleus

Some sources also include a "central dorsal" nucleus.

Degeneration of this area can be associated with progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson's disease.
