Pallido-thalamo-motor cortical connections: an electron microscopic study in the macaque monkey.
We combined the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin (WGA-HRP) technique and degenerating electron microscopic investigations to confirm the motor cortical area projection from the medial pallidal segment (GPm) via the thalamic nucleus ventralis lateralis pars oralis (VLo). We found first degenerated boutons arising from the GPm make synaptic contact with the somata and proximal dendrites of VLo neurons containing WGA-HRP reaction products transported retrogradely from motor area.
