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: >rdial
gollark: Cyan: you need to be somewhere with a DTel phone number configured.
gollark: Yes, CYAN, we ARE using DTEL, which is why I said DTEL.
gollark: Yes, shooting it is an option if weapons are available, but you can just remove it other ways.
gollark: They can't see you or syl.
