Abstrakt: The laminar distribution of endings of thalamocortical fibers was studied in the parietal (area 7) and visual cortex (area 17) after ultrasonic destruction of the pulvinar, by the Fink-Heimer method and by electron microscopy. Degenerating fibers and their endings were found in the parietal cortex in all layers, with the greatest concentration in layers III–V. In the visual cortex fibers from the pulvinar terminate chiefly in layer IV. Degenerating fibers terminate on spines and thin branches of dendrites in both the parietal and the visual cortex.
