Some Fiber Pathways Related to the Posterior Thalamic Region in the Cat; pp. 363–378

Abstract

Some afferent and efferent connections of theposterior thalamic region have been studied in the cat by means of anterograde degeneration methods. The organization of these connections is discussed with the aid of a more general framework that interprets each of a variety of ascending sensory channels as comprising lemniscal line system or lemniscal adjunct channels and that distinguishes within the posterior convexity cortex (1) sensory cortex, (2) proximal association cortex and (3) distal association cortex.
