      abstract = {The thalamus, a major subcortical structure, relays  sensory and motor signals to the cortex and striatum. This  study introduces a method for mapping thalamic projections  to delineate nuclei based on connectivity patterns.  Multi-color fluorescent proteins were stereotaxically  injected into small thalamic cell subsets, and labeled  brains were serially sectioned, imaged, and reconstructed  into normalized 3D volumes using Matlab. Regions of  interest in cortex and striatum were manually segmented,  and injections were scored by anatomical connectivity. This  mesoscopic connectome approach enables comprehensive  visualization of long-range thalamic projections, providing  a framework for structural parcellation and investigation  of complex neural circuits.},
