	Pulvinar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The pulvinar is the caudal-most nucleus of the thalamus that is conventionally divided into oral, inferior, lateral, and medial subnuclei.
		The lateral and inferior pulvinar have widespread connections with visual cortical association areas.
		The medial pulvinar has widespread connections with cingulate, posterior parietal, and prefrontal cortical areas.

		The pulvinar is the largest nucleus in the thalamus, occupying two-fifths of the thalamic volume.
		The pulvinar plays a crucial role in attention, by contributing to the activation of neurons for the object which is at the center of visual attention, and by contributing to the deactivation of other neurons, especially those corresponding to the visual field of the detractor letters.
		Although the pulvinar might seem to be controlling attention, it is not much more in control than a light-switch is in control of whether a light comes on.

		Thus, a new degree of cooperation between neurology and psychiatry is likely to result, especially for the treatment of patients with illnesses such as autism, mental retardation, cognitive disorders associated with Alzheimer and Parkinson disease that overlap between the 2 disciplines.
		The MDN and pulvinar were rendered visible by means of a Sobel intensity-gradient filter.
		Pulvinar volume was smaller in schizophrenic (1.22 +/- 0.24 cm(3)) and SPD (1.20 +/- 0.23 cm(3)) patients than controls (1.37 +/- 0.25 cm(3)).

		A few retinal ganglion cells project directly to the lateral part of the pulvinar which is considered as the retino-recipient zone of the complex.
		The lateral edge of the pulvinar is innervated by W cells, particularly of the e type.
		Finally, pulvinar neurons have concentric receptive fields and show properties similar to those of W retinal cells.

		The pulvinar, moving further, is located in the back of the thalamus; it projects in each hemisphere to wide areas of temporal and parietal cortex, as well as to portions of frontal cortex.
		Consistent with this, researchers state that stimulation of the left pulvinar "produced dysphasia and disrupted verbal memory."(32) One person reported that "during a word naming task, [stimulation of the left pulvinar] led to a failure in object naming and a striking reduction in short term recall."(21)
		The pulvinar connects with the amygdala:(33) this suggests that processing in the pulvinar would affect the emotions generated by the amygdala.

		The following will present a brief review highlighting certain structures and interactions involved in the primate visual system, along with a description and initial model based on the pulvinar nucleus, a thalamic structure speculated to be important for attentional processing.
		The resulting pulvinar model gives an artificial system the ability to attend to salient, or "pop-out" features within the vision system’s field of view.
		A discussion of the architecture’s biological significance, including its practical use for detecting uncharacteristic features, will also be presented.

		El desconocimiento que aún existe sobre el núcleo pulvinar parece responder a la complejidad de las técnicas de estudio y a que resulta difícil encontrar una buena pregunta para el pulvinar, "porque recibe conexiones de muchas partes del cerebro", ha explicado el doctor Cudeiro.
		El pulvinar indica a las distintas zonas de la corteza la relevancia de lo que nos rodea para que podamos interaccionar con el entorno.
		Precisamente, la diferencia entre el tamaño del núcleo pulvinar en los humanos y en los animales tiene que ver con que el componente volitivo está muy desarrollado en el hombre y con que el repertorio de interacciones con el entorno es también muy superior.

	COMPARISON OF POSTERIOR CINGULATE CORTEX PROJECTIONS TO THE PULVINAR AND LATERODORSAL NUCLEI
		In the cat, where the pulvinar and LD nuclei are of similar size, the pCG projections were dense in the LD but relatively sparse in the pulvinar.
		In the monkey, the pCG contributed dense projections to dorsomedial portions of the vastly enlarged pulvinar nucleus, and relatively sparse projections to the LD nucleus.
		Given the proposed functions of RS and RL terminals as "modulatory" and "driver" inputs respectively, these results suggest the pCG is capable of modulating and driving pulvinar and LD activity.

		Nel macaco il complesso del pulvinar può essere suddiviso in quattro nuclei dall'architettura citologica distinta(Petersen, Robinson and Morris, 1987; Robinson and McClurkin, 1989; Robinson and Petersen, 1992): il nucleo inferiore (PI), il nucleo laterale (PL), il nucleo medio (PM) ed il nucleo orale (PO).
		Vi sono proiezioni collicolari verso tutti e quattro i nuclei del pulvinar: lo strato grigio superficiale proietta massicciamente verso i nuclei inferiore e laterale, gli strati profondi proiettano verso i nuclei medio ed orale.
		Le connessioni efferenti del pulvinar sono indirizzate quasi esclusivamente verso la corteccia striata, prestriata, temporale parietale e frontale.

	SYNAPTIC ORGANIZATION OF PULVINAR PROJECTING PORTIONS OF THE CAT THALAMIC RETICULAR NUCLEUS
		We recently examined the synaptic circuitry of the cat perigeniculate nucleus (PGN), which projects specifically to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), and were surprised to find very few GABAergic contacts on PGN cells.
		To determine whether this reflects the general organization of the visual sector of the TRN, or is a unique feature of the PGN, we have begun to examine the synaptic organization of portions of the TRN that project to the cat pulvinar nucleus.
		These results suggest that connections between GABAergic cells are more common in the main body of the TRN than in the PGN, and thalamocortical collateral projections may be more prevalent in the PGN, or may display distinct morphologies in the PGN and TRN.

		The findings demonstrate the importance of the pulvinar in spatial coding and provide support for the function of the thalamus in binding of features
		They also provide evidence for a homology between the visual field maps of the inferior and lateral subdivisions of the pulvinar in monkeys and in humans, such that the inferior visual field is represented in the rostral part of the nucleus.
