The metathalamus is a composite structure of the thalamus, consisting of the medial geniculate nucleus and the lateral geniculate nucleus. [WP,unvetted].
we follow FMA in making this a subtype of nucleus, but in fact it is a group containing two nuclei
geniculate thalamic group
geniculate group of the dorsal thalamus
nuclei metathalami
corpora geniculata
geniculate group of dorsal thalamus
geniculate thalamic nuclear group (metathalamus)
