We have shown (Asanuma et al., 1979c) that the monkey motor cortex receives peripheral somesthetic inputs directly from the thalamus. In the present experiments, we studied the pathways which mediated these inputs by stimulating superficial radial (SR) and deep radial (DR) nerves and recording evoke

An anatomical approach to possible areas in the cerebral cortex involved in somatic motor behavior is to analyze the cortical areas containing neurons that connect directly to the primary motor cortex (MI). To define the cortical areas related to orofacial movements, we examined the distribution of
The cortical projection areas of thalamic neurons with basal ganglia and/or cerebellar inputs were studied electrophysiologically in unanesthetized monkeys. Thalamic neurons which receive inhibition from the pallidum were found to project to the motor cortex (area 4) as well as to premotor cortex. T
