Anatomical evidence for an ascending somatosensory pathway to the telencephalon in crocodiles, Caiman crocodilus.
A series of experiments in Caiman crocodilus that outlines an ascending somatosensory pathway to the telencephalon is described. This telencephalic somatosensory area was found to correspond to a region high in succinate dehydrogenase activity.
