Beschreibung:
The thalamus is the last frontier in brain research. It is the least studied region, most likely because it is very complex. The thalamus and basal ganglia are better characterized in nonhuman primates, and this information can be extrapolated to the human thalamus. This atlas can be used for identification of the thalamic nuclei in neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological studies and for guiding probes into the target nuclei during stereotactic surgery in nonhuman primates.
