The Organization of Projections from Subdivisions of the Auditory Cortex and Thalamus to the Auditory Sector of the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus in Galago

Abstract
Anterograde and retrograde transport techniques were used to study the connexions between different subdivisions of the auditory cortex and thalamus with the thalamic reticular nucleus in the prosimian, Galago. In particular, the goal was to determine whether the primary auditory nucleus, GMv, and its cortical target, area I of the auditory cortex (A I), project to a different region of the auditory sector of the reticular nucleus from the secondary auditory nuclei, GMmc and Po and their cortical targets outside A I. The results show that the projections to and from the auditory sector are indeed segregated: injections of wheatgerm agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase into either GMmc or Po labelled cells and terminals along the medial, lateral and ventral borders of the auditory sector, forming a U-shaped pattern. Projections from area II of the auditory cortex produced almost an identical pattern of the terminal labelling in the auditory sector. In contrast, injections into GMv-labelled cells and terminals in the centre region of the auditory sector, in the 'interior' of the U-shaped region. Projections from A I were distributed to both the U-shaped border region and the central core of the auditory sector probably because A I received projections from GMmc, Po and GMv. The significance of these results depends on a comparison between the auditory and visual sectors of the reticular nucleus. Both sectors are divided into tiers or subsectors-one related to the primary relay nucleus, i.e. GLd or GMv, and the other related to the secondary relay nuclei, i.e. pulvinar nucleus, GMmc, Po, etc.
