Quantitative data of "Claustral Input to the Macaque Medial Posterior Parietal Cortex (Superior Parietal Lobule and Adjacent Areas)"

These excel files contain the quantitative data of the following article "Claustral Input to the Macaque Medial Posterior Parietal Cortex (Superior Parietal Lobule and Adjacent Areas)" published in Cerebral cortex in 2021. These file are useful to reproduct the histograms that show the distribution of labelled cells in the claustrum after different tracer injections in the areas of the posterior parietal cortex. Again these data are important also to calculate the Kendall rank correlation coefficient W (Siegel 1956; Legendre 2005), which measures the agreement between sets of ranks and between the different regions of interest. From the article: "Areas dominated by somatosensory inputs for control of body movements tend to receive most afferents from the dorsal-posterior claustrum, whereas those which also receive significant visual inputs tend to receive more afferents from the ventral claustrum. In addition, different areas within these broadly defined groups differ in terms of quantitative emphasis in the origin of projections. Overall, these results argue against a simple model whereby adjacency in the cortex determines adjacency in the sectors of claustral origin of projections and indicate that subnetworks defined by commonality of function may be an important factor in defining claustrocortical topography."
