Nigrothalamic projections in the monkey demonstrated by autoradiographic technics

In spite of repeated demonstrations by degeneration technics, nigrothalamic fibers have been regarded with some skepticism. Attempts were made to trace‐ nigral efferent projections in the monkey by autoradiographic technics. Tritiated amino acids (L‐leucine, L‐lysine and L‐proline), injected into portions of the substantia nigra (SN), labeled cells in four regions, designated as, (1) rostrolateral, (2) caudolateral, (3) rostromedial and (4) central.
