The primate motor thalamus analysed with reference to subcortical afferent territories.
This paper analyses the internal organisation of the primate motor thalamus. A topographic study of the three main subcortical afferent territories (the cerebellar, pallidal and nigral territories) gives a much simpler and more functionally relevant partitioning of the thalamus than consideration of conflictual cytoarchitectonic nuclei.
