Abstract:
Discrete application of horseradish peroxidase to the corpus callosum in cats produced labeled neurons within a dorsoventrally elongated cortical territory. The rostrocaudal position of the territory corresponded with that of the applications. Callosal fibers from the ventral half of the frontal cortex passed through the rostrum, and those from the ventral occipital and dorsal temporal cortex passed through the ventral splenium. These results indicate a sectorial topographical correspondence between the corpus callosum and the cortex.
