Interestingly the diencephalon located in the caudal forebrain has been ignored for decades. Consequently, the existing knowledge from the development of this region to function in the mature brain is very fragmented. The central part of the diencephalon is the thalamus. This central relay station plays a crucial role in distributing incoming sensory information to appropriate regions of the cortex. The thalamus develops in the posterior part of the embryonic forebrain, where early cell fate decisions are controlled by local signaling centers. In this Research Topic we discuss recent achievements elucidating thalamic neurogenesis - from neural progenitor cells to highly specialized neurons with cortical target cells in great distance. In parallel, we highlight developmental aspects leading from the early thalamic anlage to the late the organization of the complex relay station of the brain. 410 0$aFrontiers research topics. 606 $aThalamus 606 $aThalamus$xGrowth 606 $aNeurosciences 610 $athalamic neurogenesis 610 $aNeurons 610 $aThalamus 610 $aneural plate patterning 610 $aneural progenitor cells 615 0$aThalamus. 615 0$aThalamus$xGrowth. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 700 $aSteffen Scholpp$4auth$01363577 702 $aScholpp$b Steffen 702 $aShimogori$b Tomomori 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136400703321 996 $aBuilding the gateway to consciousness - about the development of the thalamus$93384333 997 $aUNINA
