| Popis: | A few studies have been performed in primate basal ganglia–thalamo–prefrontal pathways. Nevertheless, their electrophysiological properties and anatomical arrangements remain obscure. This study examined them in nigro-thalamo-cortical pathways from the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) to the frontal cortex (FRC) via the mediodorsal (MD) and ventral anterior (VA) thalamus in monkeys. First, single thalamocortical neurons with SNr input were identified by antidromic responses to FRC stimulation and by inhibitory orthodromic responses with short latencies ( |
