Abstract:
In the first postnatal week, neurones projecting into the corpus callosum can be identified in kitten's visual cortex by retrograde transport of HRP. The neurones are located in layers III, IV, and VI. The region of cortex which gives rise to the callosal projection extends beyond its adult boundaries over most of area 17, 18, 19 and in the suprasylvian sulcus.

Motor Areas
The motor areas located in the frontal lobe are central to controlling voluntary movements. This region is further subdivided into the primary motor cortex and the premotor cortex.
