Abstract
An important number of studies have paid attention to the sensorial function of the LP-pulvinar complex and its probable polisensorial integrative role. In the present review, on the basis of some experimental results, we have tried to emphasize the importance of the LP-pulvinar complex in the motor function. In this sense, this thalamic complex appears as a probable sensorimotor integrative structure. Considering the behavior elicited by electrical as well as chemical stimulation of the LP-pulvinar complex, it would seem that this structure is related to the type of behavior that researches and examines the environment, mainly, by internal motivation. Furthermore, the possible role of the LP-pulvinar complex in the sleep and wakefulness mechanism and in the epileptic phenomena, is mentioned.
