Thalamocortical (TC) input streams. A, Illustration of the layers of termination of matrix-, core-, and intralaminar (IL)-type TC projections. B, projections to V1 from dorsal lateral geniculate (left) and from lateral posterior and adjoining nuclei (right). Images from Allen connectivity atlas (http://connectivity.brain-map.org/, experiments 293914766 and 267608343). Scale bar: 140 μm. C, Interdigitating laminar profiles in barrel cortex of matrix-type TC axons (green; from POm in thalamus) and core-type TC axons (red; from VPM in thalamus). Modified, with permission, from Ref. 25.
