It depends on which group of thalamic nuclei that you are referring to.

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.
The dentate nucleus connects to the thalamus via a pathway known as the dentatothalamic tract. This pathway carries motor-related information from the dentate nucleus to specific regions of the thalamus, which then relays this information to the cerebral cortex to facilitate motor control and coordination.
The medial longitudinal fasciculus is a neural pathway in the brainstem that connects the nuclei responsible for eye movements. This pathway allows for coordinated movements of the eyes, particularly in response to visual stimuli. Dysfunction of the medial longitudinal fasciculus can result in conditions such as internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
Neural impulses from touch first travel to the spinal cord, where they are relayed to the brain. Specifically, they ascend through pathways such as the dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway before reaching the thalamus. From the thalamus, the signals are then directed to the primary somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobe, where the perception of touch occurs.
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei
The medial septal nuclei are located in the anteroventral cerebrum. They have reciprocal connections to other parts of the limbic system; the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, cingulate gyrus, and thalamus. They are also connected to the midbrain. What we know most about the medial septal nuclei is that they play an important role in reward and reinforcement. So, if the medial septal nuclei where stimulated, the brain would perceive a reward, a pleasurable sensation.

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.
A basal ganglion is any of a group of nuclei in the brain interconnected with the cerebral cortex, the thalamus and the brainstem.
The hypothalamus is made up of several small nuclei. There are many different functions of this nuclei including linking the nervous system to the endocrine system.
The dentate nucleus connects to the thalamus via a pathway known as the dentatothalamic tract. This pathway carries motor-related information from the dentate nucleus to specific regions of the thalamus, which then relays this information to the cerebral cortex to facilitate motor control and coordination.

the thalamus
optic part, which contains 2 nuclei = supraoptic + paraventricular nucleituberal part, has 3 nuclei = ventromedial + dorsomedial + tubral nucleimamillary part, has 2 nuclei = posterior + lateral nucleiposterior perforated substance
The plural of thalamus is thalami. As in "we all have thalami".
