Giant neurons in the macaque pulvinar: a distinct relay subpopulation
Calbindin positive (CB+) giant neurons are known to occur within the pulvinar nucleus in subhuman primates. Here, we demonstrate by combined retrograde tracing and immunocytochemistry that at least some of these are pulvinocortical relay neurons, and further report several distinctive features. Firs...
