Abstract |
In this chapter, we compare the pattern of pulvinar immunohistochemical staining for the calcium-binding proteins calbindin and parvalbumin and for the neurofilament protein SMI-32 in macaque, capuchin, and squirrel monkeys. This group of New and Old World primates shares five similar pulvinar subdivisions: PIP, PIM, PIC, PIL, and PILS. In the Old World macaque monkey, the inferior-lateral pulvinar can be subdivided into the P1 and P2 fields based on its connectivity with visual area V1. On the other hand, only the P1 field and no P2 was found in the New World capuchin monkey. Notably, the similarities in chemoarchitecture contrast with the distinct connectivity patterns and the different visuotopic organizations found across the species. |
