Synaptic termination of thalamic and callosal afferents in cingulate cortex of the rat

The distribution of degenerating thalamic and callosal afferents to cingulate cortex in the rat is analyzed. Both light microscopic silver impregnation and quantitative electron microscopic techniques demonstrate differences in the form, number, and laminar distribution of these two afferents in anterior and posterior cingulate cortices.
