Somatotopy of the thalamus. Somatotopy of the thalamus is shown in a frontal section. Both the oral part of the ventrolateral nucleus of the thalamus (VLo) receiving pallidal projections and the oral part of the ventroposterolateral nucleus of the thalamus (VPLo) receiving cerebellar projections have their own somatotopic representations. Their somatotopic representations are continuous rostrocaudally. Modified from Asanuma et al. (1983).
