B)lateral geniculates
C)medial geniculates
D)supraoptic nuclei
E)paraventricular nuclei

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pulvinar nucleus is part of the thalamus and is involved in sensory processing, particularly integrating and filtering sensory information from different modalities (such as vision, audition, and somatosensation) before projecting it to the appropriate cortical areas. The lateral and medial geniculate nuclei are also part of the thalamus, but they specifically process visual and auditory information respectively, before projecting it to the visual and auditory cortices. The supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei are part of the hypothalamus and are involved in regulating various physiological processes such as water balance, temperature regulation, and hormone secretion, but not in processing sensory information for projection to the cortex.
