1. Visual system:
- Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN): Receives input from the optic tract and projects to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
- Pulvinar nucleus: Involved in visual attention and processing of visual information.
2. Auditory system:
- Medial geniculate nucleus (MGN): Receives input from the inferior colliculus and projects to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe.
- Ventral posterior nucleus (VPN): Receives input from the inferior colliculus and projects to the auditory cortex.
3. Somatosensory system:
- Ventral posterior nucleus (VPN): Receives input from the spinothalamic tract and projects to the primary somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobe.
- Ventral lateral nucleus (VL): Involved in processing motor and sensory information.
4. Gustatory system:
- Ventral posterior medial nucleus (VPM): Receives input from the taste buds and projects to the gustatory cortex in the insula.
5. Vestibular system:
- Ventral posterior nucleus (VPN): Receives input from the vestibular nuclei and projects to the vestibular cortex in the parietal lobe.
- Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN): Receives input from the optic tract and projects to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
- Pulvinar nucleus: Involved in visual attention and processing of visual information.

Somatic Sensory System
- Ventral Posterior Lateral Nucleus (VPL): Receives discriminative touch and proprioceptive information from the contralateral side of the body.
- Ventral Posterior Medial Nucleus (VPM): Receives tactile and temperature information from the contralateral side of the body.
Visual System
- Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN): Relays visual information from the retina of the eye to the primary visual cortex.
Auditory System
- Medial Geniculate Nucleus (MGN): Relays auditory information from the inferior colliculus to the primary auditory cortex.
Vestibular System
- Medial Vestibular Nucleus (MVN): Integrates signals from the vestibular nerve and other sensory sources to maintain balance.
- Lateral Vestibular Nucleus (LVN): Transmits vestibular information to the cerebellum and spinal cord.
Gustatory System
- Ventral Posterior Medioventral Nucleus (VPMV): Receives taste information from the tongue and relays it to the primary gustatory cortex.
