From theCambridge English Corpus
In contrast, the internal pallidum, which is a major output structure of the basal ganglia, contains only two types of projection neurons.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Projections from the cortex were more widely distributed than the labeled thalamocortical projection neurons.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From
Wikipedia
