Major sources of thalamostriatal projection Labeled neurons following retrograde tracer injections into the anterior (A) and posterior (B,C) aspect of the dorsal striatum. Anterior injection sites were associated with labeled cells throughout a wide range of thalamic nuclei (A) including the PAV. MD. CM, IAD. AD, Re. AM., and LPMR (see text for details). Posterior injection sites predominantly labeled PO and Eth nuclei and PF nuclei at more medial injection sites (not shown). Histological references are modified from Paxinos and Franklin, 2004 with coordinates relative to bregma shown (mm). Scale bars: 0.5 mm.
