They inserted probes into the pulvinar nuclei. These nuclei receive inputs directly from the retina of the eye and also connect with nearby brain regions associated with threat-relevant behavior ...

However, higher order thalamic nuclei, such as the pulvinar, interconnect with many cortical and subcortical areas, suggesting a role for the thalamus in providing sensory and behavioral context.

As the activity of neurons in the pulvinar region was monitored, the macaques were shown various images, including pictures of monkeys’ faces, monkeys’ hands, simple geometric shapes, and snakes.

Relation of koniocellular layers of dorsal lateral geniculate to inferior pulvinar nuclei in common marmosets. European Journal of Neuroscience , 2019; DOI: 10.1111/ejn.14529 Cite This Page : ...

The brain addition that made all the difference for Old World monkeys was the pulvinar nuclei, according to Isbell. Those areas of the thalamus have been found to control such things as eye and ...
