TL;DR
The results indicate that the medial pulvinar, in addition to other thalamic nuclei, projects in a topographical manner to frontal cortex, an area known to receive various cortico-cortical projections.
Abstract
The projections of the medial pulvinar to frontal cortex in the rhesus monkey were studied using the Fink-Heimer and autoradiographic anterograde techniques. Both methods demonstrated two separate projections to the frontal lobe. One focus is located in the floor and both banks of the inferior limb of the arcuate sulcus (a portion of the frontal eye fields), while the second focus is located within and lateral to the orbital sulcus. The results indicate that the medial pulvinar, in addition to other thalamic nuclei, projects in a topographical manner to frontal cortex, an area known to receive various cortico-cortical projections.

The original, non-suppressive Natua method for impregenation of terminal degeneration has been modified by the introduction of a potassium permanganate-uranyl nitrate sequence, resulting in a selective impregnation of degenarated axons inclusive of their synaptic thickenings.

There are several reasons for thinking that this method may offer a number of advantages over other currently available techniques, and it should be possible to do this by locally injecting radioactively labeled precursors of proteins or other macromolecules into the brain or spinal cord.

It is suggested that the cortex in the principal sulcus may be concerned with a form of spatial memory, whereas the arcuate cortex is concerned with some other, as yet unspecified function.

These new findings demonstrate that these frontal and parietal cortex areas receive direct afferent fibers from limbic basal forebrain areas concerned with emotion and motivation.

In the rhesus monkey, retrogradely labeled neurons, containing HRP reaction granules in the cell body and proximal parts of the dendrites, were present in the thalamus as well as in the substantia innominata and the hypothalamus and the latter areas will be referred to as the basal forebrain areas.

The frontal lobe of the chloralose-anesthetized squirrel monkey was explored in detail for responses to brief auditory, photic and somatic stimuli, with the exception of somato-frontal connections, which probably originate from sensory “association” areas rather than from the anatomically defined primary cortex.

It is concluded that many of the neurons of the pulvinar, a very large component of the human thalamus, arise in the telencephalon and migrate to the diencephalon during the fifth to eight lunar months of gestation.

Electron microscopic examination shows that parts of two different populations of synaptic terminals degenerate as a result of the cortical lesions: the RS terminal which rapidly becomes electron‐dense and later is phagocytosed, and the RL terminal, which initially exhibits signs of neurofilamentous hyperplasia and later becomes electron-dense.
