Abstract
Following injections of horseradish peroxidase-wheat germ agglutinin conjugate (HRP-WGA) and tritiated leucine into area 20 of the cat, terminal labeling was observed in visual areas 19, 21, the splenial visual area, the lateral suprasylvian area as well as in premotor, association and limbic related cerebral cortical regions. Labeled terminals in the subcortex were distributed in the caudate nucleus, the claustrum, the putamen, the anterior ventral nucleus, the intralaminar nuclei, the caudal division of the intermediate lateral nucleus, the lateralis posterior-pulvinar complex, the parvocellular C laminae of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. In HRP-WGA preparations, retrogradely labeled somata were observed in these regions with the exception of certain subcortical structures. The projections are discussed with respect to the possible role area 20 plays in the cortical control of pupillary constriction.
