School of Psychology, University of Wales Cardiff, UK
Eur J Neurosci 10:622-34. 1998..The results of the excitotoxic lesions suggest that previous studies examining conventional cingulate lesions may have been influenced by damage to adjacent fibre tracts, such as the cingulum bundle...

School of Psychology, Cardiff University, Wales CF10 3AT, UK
Neuroscience 169:1255-67. 2010..These layer II Rgb cells are likely to have been trans-neuronally labeled, revealing a pathway from lamina II of Rgb to those deeper retrosplenial cells that project directly to the anterior thalamic nuclei...
