Allocortical afferent connections of the prefrontal cortex in the cat

Abstract

Afferent connections of the prefrontal cortex of the cat arising in allocortical regions have been investigated using the horseradish peroxidase retrograde transport technique. Our results demonstrate the existence of projections from the olfactory peduncle, anterior and posterior prepiriform cortices, cortico-amygdaloid transition area, entorhinal cortex, ventral, caudal and dorsal subiculum and postsubiculum to the prefrontal cortex.
