[Responses of neurons of the anterodorsal nucleus of the thalamus and comparative analysis of 3 limbic nuclei].

Comparison of the three limbic thalamic nucleic shows that in spite of some common features of organization and connections, these nuclei presumably play different functional roles. N. AV may be regarded as an important "on-line" functional link of the limbic circuit. N. AD, possibly serves as input from the specific auditory structures to the limbic system. N. AM may participate in regulation of the general level of activity together with unspecific thalamic nuclei.
