Topographic organization of medial pulvinar connections with the prefrontal cortex in the rhesus monkey

The medial nucleus of the pulvinar complex (PM) has widespread connections with association cortex. We investigated the connections of the PM with the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in macaque monkeys, with tracers placed into the PM and the PFC, respectively.
