Table 3.
Excerpts from the general map as used in the CoCoMac database. (General map names and acronyms for the lateral geniculate nucleus and the caudate nucleus. The underscores mark the level of hierarchy in relation to the entire nucleus. The hash indicates nomenclature by Norden & Kaas (1978). The major division of the caudate nucleus is based on anatomical landmarks as suggested by Yeterian & Pandya (1991).)
