Neuroanatomical tract-tracing techniques that did go viral
Neuroanatomical tracing methods remain fundamental for elucidating the complexity of brain circuits. During the past decades, the technical arsenal...

The Mouse Thalamus
The thalamus is the largest portion of the diencephalon. It is located at either side of the dorsal part of the ventral third ventricle and borders...
-
The functional logic of corticostriatal connections
Unidirectional connections from the cortex to the matrix of the corpus striatum initiate the cortico-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamocortical loop, thought...

Diencefalo: talamo dorsale
Il talamo è un grande complesso nucleare di forma ovoidale situato nella parete del diencefalo caudalmente al forame interventricolare (Figg. 3.19,...
-
Telencephalon: Basal Ganglia
The term basal ganglia refers to a group of closely connected cell masses forming a continuum extending from the basis of the telencephalon, via the...
-
Diencephalon: Dorsal Thalamus
The thalamus is a large, ovoid nuclear complex in the wall of the diencephalon caudal to the interventricular foramen (Figs. 3.19, 3.20). Laterally,...

Multiple Neuroanatomical Tract-Tracing: Approaches for Multiple Tract-Tracing
Experimental neuroanatomical tracing techniques are fundamental to the study of the structure of the central nervous system. In the last few decades,...

Striatal input from the ventrobasal complex of the rat thalamus
We have analyzed whether caudal regions of the caudate putamen receive direct projections from thalamic sensory relay nuclei such as the ventrobasal...

The visual-oculomotor striatum of the cat: functional relationship to the superior colliculus
The visual-recipient sector of the cat striatum receives corticostriate input from over 15 higher visual and oculomotor-related areas of the cortex...

Relationships between thalamostriatal neurons and pedunculopontine projections to the thalamus: a neuroanatomical tract-tracing study in the rat
The present study aimed to investigate whe- ther the pedunculopontine projection to the thalamus overlaps with identified thalamostriatal neurons....

Drugs of abuse and immediate-early genes in the forebrain
A diverse array of chemical agents have been self administered by humans to alter the psychological state. Such drugs of abuse include both...

A survey of Golgi anatomy
The following account is a review of what the illustrations of the present atlas show and what they do not. A number of issues concerning particular...

Mammals
“Intelligent activity may reasonably be regarded as the key note of mammalian progress” (Romer 1962). This progress became possible with the...

Reptiles
The modern or living reptiles comprise four different orders: the Chelonia (turtles), the Rhynchocephalia (the tuatara, Sphenodon, from New Zealand),...

Afferents to Basal Forebrain Cholinergic Projection Neurons: An Update
The basal forebrain cholinergic projection (BFC) system has been the focus of considerable attention as a result of evidence implicating it in a...
-
Functional Systems
The truncus cerebri or brain stem harbours the centres of origin and termination of ten (III–XII) of the twelve cranial nerves (Fig. 126). At first...

Diencephalic and mesencephalic afferents of the rat claustrum
The retrograde fluorescent tracers Fast Blue (FB) and Diamidino Yellow (DY) have been used to study subcortical afferents of the claustrum. DY or FB...

The Thalamic Intralaminar Nuclei and the Cerebral Cortex
The use of the term “intralaminar nuclei” or “nuclei of the internal medullary lamina” dates back to Vogt (1909) and Friedemann (1911). According to...

Map** Functional Alterations in the CNS With [14C]Deoxyglucose
The advent of the autoradiographic [14C]-2-deoxyglucose technique (Sokoloff et al., 1977) has provided neuroscientists with an enormously potent tool...
