We have used retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase to examine the origin of thalamic input to the two premotor areas with the densest projections to the motor cortex: the arcuate premotor area (APA) and the supplementary motor area (SMA). Retrograde transport demonstrated that the two premotor areas and the motor cortex each receive thalamic input from separate, cytoarchitectonically well defined subdivisions of the ventrolateral thalamus. According to the nomenclature of Olszewski (Olszewski, J. (1952) The Thalamus of the Macaca mulatta. An Atlas for Use with the Stereotaxic Instrument, S. Karger, AG, Basel), input to the APA originates largely from area X, input to the SMA originates largely from the pars oralis subdivision of nucleus ventralis lateralis (VLo), and that to the motor cortex originates largely from the pars oralis subdivision of nucleus ventralis posterior lateralis (VPLo). These observations, when combined with prior studies on the termination of various subcortical efferents in the thalamus, lead to the following scheme of connections: (1) rostral portions of the deep cerebellar nuclei project to the motor cortex via VPLo; (2) caudal portions of the deep cerebellar nuclei project to the APA via area X; and (3) the globus pallidus projects to the SMA via VLo. Thus, each thalamocortical pathway is associated with a distinct subcortical input.
