Nonspecific Thalamus
The "non-specific" thalamic nuclei, which have only a few connections to the cortex that are not limited to a specific area, are collectively referred to as the nonspecific thalamus and sometimes truncothalamus. It receives inputs from the reticular formation, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum. Efferences go to most of the other thalamic nuclei.
