The laminar arrangement of limbic thalamocortical neurons in the lateropulvinar nuclei of the cat thalamus.
The topical organization of limbic cortical projections of the lateropulvinar nuclei of the thalamus in the cat was studied with the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) technique. The dorsal margins of the dorsal lateral, medial pulvinar and lateral pulvinar nuclei project to the postsubicular and presubicular areas (presubiculum in a wide sense), the most dorsal parts of these nuclei projecting to the retrosplenial area, and the dorsal parts to the cingular area. These three zones of limbic thalamocortical neurons in the lateropulvinar nuclei are arranged in lamination from the surface inward, and may be called presubicular, retrosplenial and cingular zones.
