The subcortical afferents and cortical projections of the lateral dorsal nucleus of the thalamus were investigated using anterograde and retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The lateral dorsal nucleus receives afferent projections from several nuclei of the pretectal complex, and sends efferent projections to several subdivisions of limbic cortex. These connections constitute a two stage pathway that could convey visual and somatosensory information to the limbic system.
运用辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）的顺行和逆行轴突运输技术，对丘脑外侧背核的皮质下传入纤维和皮质投射进行了研究。外侧背核接受来自顶盖前复合体多个核的传入投射，并向边缘皮质的几个亚区发出传出投射。这些连接构成了一条可将视觉和躯体感觉信息传递至边缘系统的双阶段通路。
