Colocalization of Tectal Inputs With Amygdala-Projecting Neurons in the Macaque Pulvinar

Neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have suggested the presence of a fast, subcortical route for the processing of emotionally-salient visual information in the primate brain. This putative pathway consists of the superior colliculus (SC), pulvinar and amygdala. While the presence of such a...
