Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of cerebellothalamic and pallidothalamic projections in the monkey (Macaca fuscata): a double anterograde labeling study.
TL;DR: Data suggest that although the cerebellar and pallidal projections primarily occupy separate thalamic territories, individualThalamic nuclei receive differentially weighted inputs from these sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pallidal and cerebellar afferents to pre-supplementary motor area thalamocortical neurons in the owl monkey: A multiple labeling study
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inputs from both the cerebellum and globus pallidus are relayed to the pre‐SMA, and zones of overlapping projections, as well as interdigitating foci of pallidal and cerebellar label, are found, particularly in border regions of the VLa and VApc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overlapping corticostriatal projections from the supplementary motor area and the primary motor cortex in the macaque monkey: An anterograde double labeling study
TL;DR: It is suggested that the homologous body regions of the SMA and MI send widespread, and substantially overlapping projections, to portions of the striatum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatosensory input to the ventrolateral thalamic region in the macaque monkey : A potential substrate for parkinsonian tremor
TL;DR: The regions of overlap of somatosensory and cerebellar inputs within the VLp of the present study appear to correspond to the reported locations of the tremor‐related cells in parkinsonian patients, and may provide a substrate for the altered activity of motor thalamic neurons in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nigrothalamic projections and nigrothalamocortical pathway to the medial agranular cortex in the rat: Single‐ and double‐labeling light and electron microscopic studies
TL;DR: The major finding of this study was the disclosure of a heretofore unknown projection to the rostromedial part of the ventral anterior‐ventral lateral complex (VAL) of the SNR, which is comparable in strength to the well‐known nigrothalamic projections to the ventromedial nucleus (VM).
