[Functional significance of the spatial organization of efferent projections of the striopallidum to the cortex and thalamus]. / O funktsional'nom znachenii prostranstvennoi organizatsii éfferentnykh proektsii striopalliduma na koru i talamus.

A correlation has been found between spatial organization of efferent projections of the striopallidum to the cortex and the thalamus and the nature of behavioural reactions. A relative homogeneity of cellular structure of the striopallidal nuclei and a wide overlap of their efferent connections in the cortex and the thalamus are one of the causes of the common character of striate influences on behaviour. Differences of spatial organization of striate projections may be connected with functional heterogeneity of striate structures.
