In MA, the ventral thalamus is part of the thalamus. Butler Hodos who identify a dorsal to ventral sequence consisting of epithalamus, dorsal thalamus, ventral thalamus and hypothalamus. We solve this by considering dorsal and ventral thalamus distinct, and the label thalamus as being ambiguous w.r.t thalamus proper (dorsal thalamus) or wider thalamus (dorsal plus ventral) ZFA:0000458 TAO:0000458 thalamus ventralis MESH:D020530 EHDAA2:0004470 UBERON:0001900 UMLS:C0152349 Anterior part of the diencephalon that lies between the dorsal thalamus, hypothalamus, and tegmentum of the mesencephalon, including subthalamic nucleus, zona incerta, the fields of Forel, and the nucleus of ansa lenticularis[GO, modified].
