title: Projections from the parvocellular part of the posteromedial ventral nucleus of the thalamus to the lateral amygdaloid nucleus in the cat.
abstract: It was shown in the cat by anterograde and retrograde WGA-HRP methods that the medial portion of the parvocellular part of the posteromedial ventral nucleus of the thalamus (VPMpc-m) sent fibers ipsilaterally to the rostrodorsal part of the lateral amygdaloid nucleus (Al-rd). The regions of the orbital gyrus (OG), which were connected reciprocally with the VPMpc-m, were also observed to send fibers to the Al-rd. Thus the VPMpc-m was assumed to project to the Al-rd directly, and indirectly via the OG.
