The Thalamic Connections of the Parietal and Frontal Lobes of the Brain in the Monkey

摘要: It is well known that a large proportion of the thalamus proper functions as relay station through which sensory impulses are projected on to cerebral cortex. With exception lateral geniculate body (whose detailed relations area striata have recently been worked out with great accuracy by Poliak (1933)) precise relation various thalamic nuclei and their subdivisions different cortical areas still remains be established. The investigation this communication represents report was undertaken in first place order define precisely manner main nucleus (nucleus ventralis) We have, however, extended our original plans include survey thalamo-cortical connections greater part frontal parietal regions work previous investigators bears question we will leave for consideration discussion at end paper.
