TL;DR
Reciprocal anatomical connections between posterior limbic cortex and anterior thalamus in the rabbit were investigated using horseradish peroxidase histochemistry and showed that the cells of origin for corticofugal fibers are contained only within deep cortical layers, while thalamofugal projections terminate only within superficial laminae.
Abstract
Reciprocal anatomical connections between posterior limbic (i.e. cingulate-retrosplenial) cortex and anterior thalamus in the rabbit were investigated using horseradish peroxidase histochemistry. Results showed that the cells of origin for corticofugal fibers are contained only within deep cortical layers, while thalamofugal projections terminate only within superficial laminae. That is, only layer VI neurons of cingulate-retrosplenial cortex project to thalamic regions, while cortical layers I and IV are the primary targets of thalamic afferents.

The sensitivity of this new method in demonstrating retrograde transport is markedly superior to that of the previously described benzidine dihydrochloride method and, as a consequence, many efferent connections of the injection site are also visualized.

The intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus have been examined particularly in the rat but with additional observations in the cat and squirrel monkey, with a view to determining the extent of their connections with the cerebral cortex and/or striatum.

Variations in incubation times and reagent concentrations resulted in significant differences in the extent to which transported HRP could be demonstrated with benzidene, which demonstrated a wider extent of HRP transport than a representative diaminobenzidene procedure.

Brain ResearchProjections from the cingulate cortex in the rat
339 Citations1969Valerie B. Domesick
The cingulate cortex appears as a vast and differential neural mechanism receiving major impulse afflux from the limbic system by way of the anterior and laterodorsal thalamic nuclei, and exerting its influence primarily upon brain structures not directly involved in any of the currently recognized limbic circuits.

Thalamic projections to the medial cortex (cingulate cortex and presubiculum) were studied by the use of anterograde degeneration methods and observations made in rats with various lesions of the anterio.

A new method for tracing connections in the central nervous system is described where Horseradish peroxidase is injected into the area of interest where it is taken up by cell bodies and dendrites and transported to their axons and terminals.

Thalamic afferents to the limbic cortex in the cat were studied with the method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase and there appears to be a dorsoventral organization of cortical projections of the anteromedial nucleus to the anterior limbic region.

It is hypothesized that early-forming discriminative neuronal activity, relayed to anteroventral neurons via the corticothalamic pathway, contributes to the construction of changes underlying the late-forming neuronal discrimination in the anterventral nucleus.

Unilateral stereotaxic lesions were made in the anterior thalamic nuclei of the cat, and the ensuing terminal degeneration traced to the medial cortex by the methods of Nauta-Gygax and Fink-Heimer.

Electrical stimulation of the dorsal fornix of the rabbit evoked an electrical response in the medial mamillary nucleus, and repetitive stimulation lowered the blood pressure, increased the rate and amplitude of respiration, and reduced the knee-jerk reflex.
