The lateral posterior nucleus is a nucleus of the thalamus. It represents the rostral continuation of the pulvinar (with which it shares comparable connections - the two may be considered a complex). It is thought to be involved in complex sensory integration.^[1]

Anatomy

Other animals

In rodents, the lateral posterior nucleus is considered the homologue of the primate pulvinar.^[4]
