Thereafter, along primate evolution, different selective pressures acted in order to shape and fine-tune the connectivity of the pulvinar with specific regions of the neocortex. This divergence created, among other things, the different sets of retinotopic map representations in the pulvinar nucleus depending on functional and behavioral requirements of each species. The pulvinar, the largest nucleus of the primate thalamus, has extensive and reciprocal connections with several areas of the neocortex. These input-output loops suggest that the pulvinar may regulate the flow of information within and between cortical areas in a highly dynamic fashion. Therefore, understanding the anatomical subdivisions within the pulvinar, and its connectivity with the cortex, is paramount to understanding pulvinar physiological function. However,  there is a stark contrast regarding the way that the pulvinar is subdivided depending on the technique employed. Cytoarchitectural and immunohistochemical methods reveal a very similar pattern of pulvinar subdivision across Old- and New-World monkeys. On the other hand, electrophysiological and connectivity studies expose clear discrepancies in pulvinar organization across primate evolution. . 410 0$aAdvances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology,$x0301-5556 ;$v225 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aNeurosciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 615 14$aNeurosciences. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 676 $a612.8 700 $aGattass$b Ricardo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0786397 702 $aSoares$b Juliana G.M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLima$b Bruss$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300439603321 996 $aThe Pulvinar Thalamic Nucleus of Non-Human Primates: Architectonic and Functional Subdivisions$92012786 997 $aUNINA
