title: Evidence for two complementary patterns of thalamic input to the rat somatosensory cortex.
abstract: We provide evidence that the thalamic projections originating from the medial portion of the posterior thalamic complex to the somatosensory cortex of the rat are distributed in a detailed pattern which is complementary to the pattern of projections which originate in the ventral posterior nucleus.
