Connections between the supratemporal and its rostral areas, and the posterior thalamic region in the monkey: a retrograde HRP study.
Connections between the anterior half of the superior temporal gyrus (Ts) and the supratemporal plane (STP) in the Sylvian fissure, and the posterior thalamic region in the monkey were studied after retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). HRP injections into the Ts resulted in labeled cells in the posterodorsal division of the principal medial geniculate complex (GMpd), the suprageniculate and limitans nuclei, and the medial part of the medial nucleus of the pulvinar complex. HRP injections into the rostral Ts led to labeling in the posterior extremity of the GMpd, whereas injections into the caudal Ts resulted in labeling in the rostral GMpd. HRP injections into the area of transition between the Ts and STP led to labeling in the ventral part of the ventral division of the principal medial geniculate complex (GMv) and in the GMpd. HRP injections into the rostral STP led to labeling in the lateral part of the GMv, the anterodorsal division of the principal medial geniculate complex (GMad), and the lateral division of the posterior nucleus (Pol). HRP injections into the more caudal part of the STP yielded labeling in the more dorsomedial part of the GMv, Pol, and GMad. HRP injections into the lip of the STP yielded labeling in the GMv, Pol, GMad, and GMpd.
