title: An HRP study in the cat of pathways which may interconnect the two ventrobasal complexes.
abstract: Possible direct or indirect connections between the two VB thalamic complexes were investigated using the HRP technique. Labelled cells were found ipsilaterally in the NCP and in NRT following injections n the VB complex and in the ipsilateral NRT and in contralateral NCP following injections in NCP. No labelling of contralateral VB complex was ever found. A pathway involving NRT and NCP is suggested to support the possibility of indirect connections between the two thalami and the functional implications of the described projections are discussed.
