Structural-functional rearrangement in the thalamic relay nuclei during sensory deficit]

Experiments in adult cats surviving five days, four months and one year after neurosurgical section of the optical tract, half of the midbrain tegmentum, show the stability of cytoarchitectonic organization of LGB and ventro-basal nuclear complex of the thalamus due to ultrastructural plastic rearrangement of the studied neural centers and alterations in the sensory system as a whole.
