Abstract
In the present study HRP injections have been placed in various thalamic areas in order to investigate spinothalamic projections in the lizard Varanus exanthematicus. It appeared that the spinal cord projects to three different thalamic areas: nucleus dorsomedialis, nucleus ventrolateralis, and an area that includes both the nucleus dorsolateralis and nucleus intermediodorsalis. Spinal neurons projecting to nucleus dorsomedialis are localized bilaterally at the medial side of the dorsal horn. Following injections in nucleus ventrolateralis, labeled neurons were found bilaterally in area VII and VIII, whereas nucleus dorsolateralis and nucleus intermediodorsalis receive a bilateral input mainly from areas V and VI.
