Description

In Uberon we have the following terms: dorsal thalamus, ventral thalamus and dorsal plus ventral thalamus.
dorsal plus ventral thalamus has a broad synonym thalamus, and there isn't a term labeled thalamus.
My question is: are thalamus and dorsal plus ventral thalamus different structures (dorsal plus ventral thalamus would be part of thalamus) or are they the same structure?
We can find in the thalamic complex definition a distinction of ventral and dorsal thalamus as separate entities:

A nuclear complex which in mammals consists of four parts, the hypothalamus, epithalamus, ventral thalamus, and dorsal thalamus.
