Parietal projection of thalamocortical fibers from the ventroanterior-ventrolateral complex of the cat thalamus.
Anterograde labelling following focal injections of Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin was used to identify the parietal distribution of thalamocortical (TC) fibers from the ventroanterior-ventrolateral (VA-VL) complex of the cat thalamus. In injections in the ventrolateral or the caudal part of the VA-VL complex, labelled TC fibers were distributed in layers I, III and IV of the parietal areas 5a and/or 5b, whereas in injections located more rostrally or dorsomedially, labelled TC fibers were almost confined to layer I.
