Quantitative Golgi study of anatomically identified subdivisions of motor thalamus in the rat

A Golgi study of neurons in the ventroanterior‐ventrolateral complex (VAL) and ventromedial (VM) nucleus in the dorsal thalamus of rats was performed. To facilitate the delineation of subdivisions of these nuclei, some animals received injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the afferent and efferent fields of VAL and VM, and alternate sections were processed for the histochemical detection of HRP. As an adjunct to subjective observations, a multivariate statistical analysis of morphometric variables was performed to provide an objective assessment of neuronal morphology.
