Inhaltsangabe

This book, a meticulous investigation by the author into the structure and function of the afferent fibre systems of the primate brain, delves into the three main routes by which sensory information reaches the cerebral cortex. The author challenges prevailing notions of the time, arguing instead for an intricate arrangement of fibre systems within the brain. Through detailed analysis of experimental injuries to the thalamus, the author provides novel insights into the termination of ascending tracts from the lower regions of the neuraxis, thalamic nuclei, cortical fibres, and fibres originating and terminating within the thalamus. The author's work serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the anatomical and physiological underpinnings of central nervous function.
