Fig. 7 — Patterns of cortical and thalamic input to SPL areas. A The pattern of cortical connections to SPL areas includes: "visual", striate and extrastriate visual areas; "bimodal", parietal areas located in the superior and inferior parietal lobule and on the mesial surface of the hemisphere; "somatosensory", somatosensory primary and secondary areas as well as multimodal areas in the insular cortex; "somatomotor", frontal, premotor and prefrontal cortex. B The pattern of thalamic afferents to SPL areas includes: "visual", the lateral and inferior subdivisions of pulvinar nucleus together with the lateral geniculate nucleus; "bimodal", the lateral posterior and the medial portion of the pulvinar nucleus; "somatosensory", the ventral posterior lateral nucleus; "somatomotor", the ventral lateral and ventral anterior nuclei; "oculomotor", medial nucleus together with intralaminar and periventricular nuclei with oculomotor related activity
