Projections from the visual cortical region of the superior temporal sulcus to the striatum and claustrum in the macaque monkey.

摘要: Solutions of tritiated aminoacids were injected into the visual cortical region hidden in depth superior temporal sulcus (STs) macaque monkey. Injection sites involved middle area, extending surrounding cortices. Projections found homolaterally both striatum and claustrum. In caudate nucleus labeled material affected mainly body spread to tail head nucleus. Label was also seen caudal third putamen postero-ventral Compared with scarcity afferents arising from occipital areas, present data point a heavy projection system additional areas STs basal ganglia
