Cortical afferents to the prefrontal cortex of the cat: a study with the horseradish peroxidase technique

Abstract

Following horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injections into different areas within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of the cat, labeled neurons were found in the cingulate and insular cortex. These results demonstrate that the cat's prefrontal cortex is reached directly from these cortical regions, and that the observed cortical projections are similar to those detected in the monkey's prefrontal cortex.
