[Projections of the thalamic dorsomedial nucleus onto the prefrontal area of the cortex in Hamadryas baboons].

In 6 monkeys (Papio hamadryas) by means of the retrograde degeneration method projections of the thalamic dorsomedial nnucleus on field 9, 10 and 47 in the prefrontal cortical area have been studied. Morphological investigation of the frontal cerebral sections stained after Nissl has demonstrated that multiform part of the thalamic dorsomedial nucleus makes projections towards field 9. The frontal superior sector of the parvocellular part of the dorsomedial ucleus is projected on field 10, and the frontal inferior sector of the parvocellular part of the dorsomedial nucleus--on field 47.
