視床は大脳半球と脳幹を中継する間脳の大部分を占め,多数の神経核を有する。これらの神経核は大脳皮質と相互的に連絡し,感覚や運動だけでなく,注意,記憶,言語や情動など大脳皮質が担う機能の多くに関与する。このため視床の病巣は多様な臨床症状を引き起こし,その解剖の知識は臨床において重要である。本稿では視床を含む間脳の構造について,症例を交えて概説する。
Abstract
The thalamus is a vital structure lying deep within the brain that has several important functions, such as sensory and motor function, attention, memory, speech, and emotion. Various thalamic nuclei with extensive nerve networks send signals all around the structures of the brain including the cerebral cortex. Thalamic lesions cause a wide variety of clinical symptoms; therefore, anatomical knowledge of the thalamus is important in clinical situations. In this paper, structure of the thalamus is outlined, sprinkled with examples of clinical cases.
