The ventral posterior nucleus is the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain. Ventral posterolateral nucleus, which receives sensory information from the body. 2  Ventral posteromedial nucleus, which receives sensory information from the head and face via the trigeminal nerve.
A recording electrode was placed stereotactically in the ventral posterior lateral nucleus of thalamus (VPL), and a ball electrode was placed over the surface of the hind limb region of primary sensory cortex.wenty-two STT cells projected to the ventral posterior lateral nucleus (L-STT cells), 11 to the medial thalamus (M-STT cells), and 9 to both thalamic regions (LM-STT cells).
