In this review, we outline the history of our current understanding of the organization of the pulvinar complex of mammals. We include more recent evidence from our own studies of both New and Old World monkeys, prosimian galagos, and close relatives of primates, including tree shrews and rodents. Based on cumulative evidence, we provide insights into the possible evolution of the visual pulvinar complex, as well as the possible co-evolution of the inferior pulvinar nuclei and temporal cortical visual areas within the MT complex.
在这篇综述中，我们概述了目前对哺乳动物丘脑枕复合体组织结构的认识历程。我们纳入了来自我们自己对新大陆猴和旧大陆猴、原猴亚目婴猴以及灵长类近亲（包括树鼩和啮齿动物）研究的最新证据。基于累积的证据，我们深入探讨了视觉丘脑枕复合体可能的进化过程，以及MT复合体中丘脑枕下核与颞叶皮质视觉区域可能的协同进化。
