Cortico-thalamo-cortical projection between visual cortices.
The present experiments showed that there is a cortico-thalamo-cortical projection system in the cat, which originates from the primary visual cortex, relayed by the lateral part of the lateral posterior nucleus of the thalamus, and reaching the medial bank of the lateral suprasylvian visual area. This finding suggests that the thalamus can play a role in transmission of cortical signals from one cortical area to another.
