Lateral pulvinar nucleus
Lateral pulvinar nucleus (nucleus pulvinaris lateralis) is one of four traditionally anatomically distinguished nuclei of the pulvinar of the thalamus. The other three nuclei of the pulvinar are called anterior, inferior and medial pulvinar nuclei.

Clinical significance
Lesions of the lateral pulvinar nucleus can result in neglect syndromes and attentional deficits.[5]
gollark: Yeeees, inverse COMPARTMENTAL SLATS is probably not possible at this point because palaiologos has seen what happened to lyricly.
gollark: It's very fun ascribing motives to me I don't actually have, isn't it. Unless you turned out to be right, but I don't actually know what they are so I can't say.
gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
gollark: This worries me.
gollark: What do you mean "the way we discuss"?
