Telencephalic afferent nuclei in the carp diencephalon, with special reference to fiber connections of the nucleus preglomerulosus pars lateralis.
Fiber connections of the nucleus preglomerulosus pars lateralis (PGl), which primarily provides afferent inputs to the telencephalon, were examined in carp by means of horseradish peroxidase tracing methods. The major afferent sources of PGl are the bilateral nucleus tuberis anterior and a few projections are found deriving from the ipsilateral nucleus ventromedialis thalami, nucleus centralis posterior, dorsal periventricular hypothalamus, and torus semicircularis. Axons arising in the PGl can be traced to the area dorsalis pars centralis of the ipsilateral telencephalon, nucleus centralis posterior and the nucleus ventromedialis thalami. In addition, another 5 telencephalic afferent nuclei are found in the diencephalon; the nucleus subrotundus of Sheldon, nucleus preglomerulosus pars anterior, nucleus ventromedialis thalami, nucleus centralis posterior and nucleus posterior thalami.
