Figure 2.
Projection neurons in prefrontal cortices directed to the VA/VL and MD thalamic nuclei. A–E, Distribution of projection neurons in a series of coronal sections in rostral (A) to caudal (E) prefrontal cortices after injection of fluoro-ruby in the VA/VL (red) and diamidino yellow in MDpc (green). Colored brackets in (D) show examples of the modular distribution of prefrontal projection neurons to VA/VL (red), and MD (green). Dotted lines in A–E show the top of cortical layers V and VI. Inset, Injection sites in VA/VL and MDpc shown in coronal sections through the thalamus (colored areas, case BE).
