A 50-year-old female patient consulted a doctor with a headache and complaints of abnormal sensations in the left side of the body. She claims that sensory changes have taken place rapidly in the past few hours. Her laboratory reports are normal, a lumbar puncture shows normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and her mental capacity appears to be good. The doctor performed a neurological examination and found that the patient had significantly decreased sensitivity on the entire left side of the body, including the face. Sensory loss includes all modalities. Motor examinations are normal, as are visual and hearing examinations. Based on neurological studies, which of the following thalamic nuclei will be involved?
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei
lateral dorsal and lateral posterior nuclei
pulvinar
ventral anterior and ventral lateral nuclei
ventral posterior lateral and ventral posterior medial nuclei
