TL;DR
Anatomical experiments demonstrate that commissural and cortico-cortical fibers arising and terminating in the somatic sensor- cortex of monkeys terminate in layers I through IV in a mosaic of precisely ordered vertical bands.
Abstract
Anatomical experiments demonstrate that commissural and cortico-cortical fibers arising and terminating in the somatic sensor- cortex of monkeys terminate in layers I through IV in a mosaic of precisely ordered vertical bands. The cells of origin of these fibers, found predominantly in layer III, are also arranged in vertical aggregations.

There are several reasons for thinking that this method may offer a number of advantages over other currently available techniques, and it should be possible to do this by locally injecting radioactively labeled precursors of proteins or other macromolecules into the brain or spinal cord.

The laminar distribution of axon terminals in the cortex is correlated with functional differences between layers, and the IVth‐layer mosaic anatomically is demonstrated.

If radioactive substances were transported transneuronally, injection of labeled material into one eye followed by autoradiography of the cortex might reveal the entire system of ocular-dominance columns.

The unit in monkey striate cortex, at least with respect to eye dominance, was a long slab-shaped column of cortex rather than the vertical cylinder originally proposed by Lorente de N6, however, one possible reason for this difference not discussed is that the 'eye preference column' may not be a unitary structure.

The interhemispheric connections of various parts of the parietal lobe have been studied with silver impregnation technique in the rhesus monkey and the caudal part of the inferior parietal lobule projected to entirely different non-homotopical areas besides projecting to the homotopicals region.

The structure of the first somatic sensory area, of the motor area and the intervening transitional field is described in the squirrel monkey using Nissl, Bodian, Weil and Golgi preparations and the laminar arrangement of both cells and axons is briefly described.
