Using autoradiography and the horseradish peroxidase method, the morphology and laminar distribution of cortico-pulvinar neurons and the reciprocity of connections between pulvinar and cortex were examined in five Rhesus monkeys which had received medial, lateral and inferior pulvinar nucleus injections of both tritiated amino acids and horseradish peroxidase. Cortico-pulvinar neurons were identified in one heterotypical cortical area (area 17) and in many homotypical areas in frontal (areas 45, 46, 11, 12), parietal (5, 7), occipital (18, 19) and temporal (20, 21, 22) lobes. The cortico-pulvinar neurons were pyramidal in shape and ranged in size from small to large. In heterotypical cortex they were found in layers V and VI whereas in area 17 they were found only in layer Vb. Reciprocal connections between pulvinar and cortex were a feature of homotypical but not heterotypical cortex.
运用放射自显影术和辣根过氧化物酶法，对5只恒河猴进行研究，向其丘脑枕核的内侧、外侧和下部注射氚化氨基酸和辣根过氧化物酶，进而考察皮质-丘脑枕神经元的形态、分层分布以及丘脑枕与皮质之间连接的相互关系。在一个异型皮质区（17区）以及额叶（45区、46区、11区、12区）、顶叶（5区、7区）、枕叶（18区、19区）和颞叶（20区、21区、22区）的许多同型皮质区中，均识别出了皮质-丘脑枕神经元。皮质-丘脑枕神经元呈锥体形状，大小不一，从小型到大型均有。在异型皮质中，它们位于第V层和第VI层；而在17区，仅在Vb层发现这些神经元。丘脑枕与皮质之间的相互连接是同型皮质而非异型皮质的一个特征。
