A projection from the parabigeminal nucleus (Pbg) to the striate-recipient zone of the pulvinar nucleus in the prosimian Galago was identified by anterograde and retrograde transport methods. In addition to the pulvinar nucleus, Pbg projections were found to terminate in layers 4 and 5 of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and the central lateral nucleus. All three of these structures project to the superficial layers of the striate cortex. Similarities between the Pbg in mammals and the nucleus isthmi in nonmammals in connections and neurochemistry reinforce the idea that these two nuclei are homologous.
通过顺行和逆行运输方法，在原猴类夜猴中确定了从副视束核（Pbg）到丘脑枕核的纹状接受区的投射。除了丘脑枕核，还发现Pbg投射终止于背外侧膝状核的第4层和第5层以及中央外侧核。这三个结构都投射到纹状皮层的表层。哺乳动物的Pbg与非哺乳动物的峡核在连接和神经化学方面的相似性强化了这两个核是同源的观点。
