title: [Descending connections between the parafascicular complex of the thalamus and midbrain periaqueductal gray].
abstract: Descendin projections of the parafascicular complex (CM--Pf) of the cat thalamus to periaqueductal gray matter (PAG) of the midbrain were studied by Fink-Heimer electrocoagulation of CM--Pf complex in stereotaxic coordination. Degenerative changes in nerve fibers were most pronounced on transversal sections of the brain stem in the lateral nucleus of PAG, whereas less degeneration was seen in the ventral part of the medial nucleus.
