What is specific nuclei of thalamus?

Specific nuclei of the thalamus are a group of nuclei that have well-defined connections with specific regions of the cerebral cortex. Examples include the ventral posterolateral nucleus (VPL), which relays sensory information to the somatosensory cortex, and the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), which relays visual information to the primary visual cortex.

It depends on which group of thalamic nuclei that you are referring to.anterior group of nuclei = relay station for hippocampal impulsesmedial group of nuclei = relay station for visceral impulsesanterior ventral group of nuclei = relay station for extrapyramidal impulsesintermediate ventral group of nuclei = relay station for cerebellar impulses concerned with integration of muscle tonepostero-lateral ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive impulses & proprioceptive impulses from the opposite side of the body below the headpostero-medial ventral group of nuclei = relay station for exteroceptive and proprioceptive impulses from opposite side of headinterlaminar + midline + reticular nuclei = participate in the arousal reactions of the brain

What artery is major blood source to mid brain occipital lobe and thalamus?

The major blood supply to the midbrain, occipital lobe, and thalamus primarily comes from the posterior cerebral artery (PCA). The PCA branches off from the basilar artery and provides oxygenated blood to these regions of the brain. Additionally, branches from the posterior communicating artery can also contribute to the vascular supply of these areas.
