Afferent and efferent connections of the thalamic eminence of the axolotl were determined using the fluorescent compound DiI as a tracer. The thalamic eminence is connected reciprocally with a number of telencephalic and diencephalic areas, particularly with the medial pallium, the amygdala and the preoptic region. Efferent connections are widespread throughout the ipsilateral diencephalon. These findings are discussed in relation to the homology of this nucleus, especially its homologue in agnathan brains.
使用荧光化合物DiI作为示踪剂，确定了美西螈丘脑隆起的传入和传出连接。丘脑隆起与许多端脑和间脑区域相互连接，特别是与内侧大脑皮层、杏仁核和视前区相连。传出连接广泛分布于同侧间脑。结合该核的同源性，特别是其在无颌类动物脑中的同源物，对这些发现进行了讨论。
