Ventral posterior lateral nucleus

Biology; Neuroscience

Component of the ventral posterior complex of thalamic nuclei that receives brainstem projections carrying somatic sensory information from the body (excluding the face).

Somatic sensory system

Biology; Neuroscience

Components of the nervous system involved in processing sensory information about the mechanical forces active on both the body surface and on deeper structures such as muscles and joints.

Ventral posterior medial nucleus

Biology; Neuroscience

Component of the ventral posterior complex of thalamic nuclei that receives brainstem projections related to somatic sensory information from the face.

Cortico-cortical connexions

Biology; Neuroscience

Connexions made between cortical areas in the same hemisphere or betweem the two hemispheres via the cerebral commissures (the corpus callosum and the anterior commissure).

Glaucoma

Biology; Neuroscience

Condition in which the eye's aqueous humour is not adequately drained, resulting in increased intraocular pressure, reduced blood supply to the eye, and eventual damage to the retina.
