Table 2. Examples of Identified Class 1 and Class 2 Inputs.

Class 1 inputs Class 2 inputs
Retina to lateral geniculate nucleus Cortical layer 6 to thalamus
Medial lemniscus to ventral posterior (medial and lateral) nucleus Layer 6 to layer 4 of cortex
Inferior colliculus to ventral medial geniculate nucleus Layers 2/3 to layers 2/3 of cortex
Lateral mamillary nucleus to anterodorsal nucleus Inferior colliculus to dorsal medial geniculate nucleus
Cerebellar to ventral lateral nucleus Most thalamocortical inputs to layers 2/3
Thalamocortical inputs to layers 4-6 and some to layers 2/3 Various corticocortical pathways
Layer 4 to layers 2/3 of cortex
Cortical layer 5 to higher order thalamic nuclei
Various corticocortical pathways
