Metabolic and structural correlates of the vibrissae representation in the thalamus of the adult rat.

P W Land, D J Simons.   

Abstract

Cytochrome oxidase (CO) histochemistry was used to examine patterns of metabolic activity in the ventral posteromedial nucleus of the adult rat thalamus. In sections cut in an oblique horizontal plane, CO staining reveals distinct patches of heightened activity arranged in a fashion remniscent of the pattern of vibrissae on the contralateral face and which corresponds to the known somatotopic organization of the nucleus. The CO-reactive zones coincide with oval cylinders of thalamic neurons that appear to be anatomically linked with corresponding barrels in the contralateral somatosensory cortex.
