pulvinar nucleus

Thalamus nuclei {pulvinar nucleus} can have inferior, lateral, and medial nuclei that are for attention, are multisensory, and receive from superior colliculus and retinal ganglion cells [Desimone et al., 1990] [Grieve et al., 2000] [Kinomura et al., 1996] [LaBerge and Buchsbaum, 1990] [LaBerge, 2000] [Rafal and Posner, 1987] [Robinson and Cowie, 1997] [Robinson and Petersen, 1992]. Pulvinar nucleus excites posterior parietal and inferior temporal lobes for external stimuli. Nucleus sides {lateral pulvinar nucleus} inhibit cerebral cortex to suppress irrelevant events, increase resolution, minimize receptive fields, and specify attention focus.
