  • Title: A projection to the striatum from the medial subdivision of the posterior group of the thalamus in the cat.
    Author: Beckstead RM.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1984 May 23; 300(2):351-6. PubMed ID: 6733477.
    Abstract:
    Injections of wheat germ agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase in the lateral part of the caudate nucleus or the putamen of the cat result in retrograde thalamic cell-labeling in the rostral extension of the medial subdivision of the posterior group (POM). Autoradiography after [3H]amino acid injection of POM reveals a dense and discontinuous distribution of axons in the lateral half of the caudate and putamen concentrated at their middle rostrocaudal levels. This newly discovered thalamostriatal projection of POM may account for somatosensory activity observed in striatal cells.
