Abstract

The present paper deals with the study of the structure of horizontal neuron chains, one of the aspects of intracortical intraneuronal relationships. The motor cortex (field 4) of cats and lower monkeys (Papio hamadryas and Macacus rhesus s. M. Mullata) was treated by the impregnating method of Golgi‐Kopsh. The drawings of neurons from 90‐μm sections were made by means of a camera lucida.

Three possible pathways of impulse transmission along neuron chains in a horizontal direction were revealed. These were: a pyramido‐pyramidal system of connections which may possibly spread excitatory influence among several columns; a basket‐pyramidal connection system; and connections which arise from successive switchings between neighboring neurons of one layer.

Auditory cortex of macaque monkeys can be divided into a core of primary or primary-like areas located on the lower bank of the lateral sulcus, a surrounding narrow belt of associated fields, and a parabelt region just lateral to the belt on the superior temporal gyrus.

Prefrontal cortices have been implicated in autonomic function, but their role in this activity is not well understood.
