The thalamic nucleus that receives signals from the limbic basal ganglia pathway is the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus.1
In the basal ganglia's limbic circuit, which processes information related to emotion and motivation, the ventral pallidum serves as the primary output nucleus. Information exiting this pathway is directed to the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus before being sent back to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex.1
