The thalamic fasciculus is a component of the subthalamus (ventral thalamus). It is synonymous with field H₁ of Forel. Fibers from the lenticular fasciculus (field H₂ of Forel), are joined by fibers from the ansa lenticularis – different parts of the internal globus pallidus, before they enter the ventral anterior nucleus of the thalamus to form the thalamic fasciculus.^[1]^[2] The fasciculus also contains fibers from the cerebellothalamic tract, and the pallidothalamic tract.
