Journal ArticleDOI
Regional segregation of neurons responding to quickly adapting, slowly adapting, deep and pacinian receptors within thalamic ventroposterior lateral and ventroposterior inferior nuclei in the squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus)
TL;DR: The results suggest that the neurons are grouped according to submodality in this area of theThalamus and that discrete and spatially separate volumes of the thalamus are devoted to input from deep, Pacinian, cutaneous rapidly adapting and cutaneous slowly adapting receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Horizontal cells in cat retina with independent dendritic systems
TL;DR: Cat horizontal cells are retinal neurons with two functionally distinct parts: the cell body receives signals predominantly from cones, while the terminal arborization receives predominantly from rods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connections of the ventroposterior nucleus of the thalamus with the body surface representations in cortical areas 3b and 1 of the cynomolgus macaque, (Macaca fascicularis)

TL;DR: The somatotopic pattern of the connections of the ventroposterior nucleus of the thalamus with the representations of the body surface in somatic cortical Areas 3b and 1 were investigated in macaque monkeys using the anatomical tracers horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and 3H‐proline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of the body surface in somatic koniocortex in the prosimian Galago.
TL;DR: It is concluded that somatic koniocortex of galagos and Area 3b of monkeys are homologous, and the term S‐I proper is suggested for the representation in both prosimians and monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI
The representation of the body surface in somatosensory area I of the grey squirrel.
TL;DR: Microelectrode mapping methods were used to determine the organization of primary somatosensory cortex, SmI, in grey squirrels and found that a systematic representation of the contralateral body surface was found within somatic koniocortex.
