Dear netters,
does anybody of you know about other pathways, if they ever exist,
for sensory information flow to the neocortex, bypassing the thalamus? I do not
mean aminergic modulatory pathways from the reticular formation or cholinergic
from brainstem etc. Only sensory channels to the neocortex (for info processing)
I have heard about the ventral polysynaptic tract but I have no more info on it.
Many thanks for your help!
