  • Title: Corticopontine projections from the visual area of the superior temporal sulcus in the macaque monkey.
    Author: Galletti C, Maioli MG, Squatrito S, Battaglini PP.
    Journal: Arch Ital Biol; 1982 Sep; 120(4):411-7. PubMed ID: 7149882.
    Abstract:
    1. The projections from the superior temporal sulcus (STS) visual area to pontine nuclei were studied in the macaque monkey by the autoradiographic tracing method. Microinjections of a mixture of L-[5-3H] proline and L-[4,5-3H] leucine were carried out in the posterior band and the floor of the caudal half of the STS. Survival time was always 7 days. 2. The STS visual area projects to the dorsolateral part of ipsilateral pontine nuclei. Terminal projections are distributed in patches in the whole rostro-caudal extent of the pons. 3. These findings support the view that the STS visual area in the macaque monkey is homologous to the postero-medial lateral suprasylvian area in the cat.
