Evidence for two complementary patterns of thalamic input to the rat somatosensory cortex.
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.
