TL;DR
The findings reported in this article strongly suggest the existence of a substantial pathway originating in the internal segment of the globus pallidus and terminating in a large, circumscript region of the lateral habenular nucleus.
Abstract
Abstract The efferent projections of the entopeduncular nucleus (internal segment of the globus pallidus) in the cat have been studied by the autoradiographic tracing method. The findings reported in this article strongly suggest the existence of a substantial pathway originating in the internal segment of the globus pallidus and terminating in a large, circumscript region of the lateral habenular nucleus. Axons of this pathway follow a wide variety of routes to reach the lateral habenular nucleus. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the problem of connections between the limbic system and the corpus striatum.

Brain ResearchTwo methods for selective silver impregnation of degenerating axons and their synaptic endings in the central nervous system
1,760 Citations1967Robert Fink, Lennart Heimer
The original, non-suppressive Natua method for impregenation of terminal degeneration has been modified by the introduction of a potassium permanganate-uranyl nitrate sequence, resulting in a selective impregnation of degenarated axons inclusive of their synaptic thickenings.

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.

Frozen sections of formalin-fixed brains containing surgical lesions, were treated with 15% ethanol for 0.5 hr, and subsequently treated with 0.05% potassium permanganate for 4–10 min, and covered in neutral synthetic resin.

The fiber degenerations resulting from variously located lesions of the lentiform nucleus were studied in the rhesus monkey by the aid of the Nauta-Gygax and Albrecht-Fernstrom techniques and evidence was obtained of pallidotegmental fibers extending caudally beyond the mesencephalon.

The existence of a direct amyg dalo-thalamic projection in the monkey was confirmed, whereas other components of the ventral amygdalofugal fibre system were traced to the substantia innominata, the lateral preoptic and hypothalamic regions, the basal septal region, olfactory tubercle, and rostral limbic cortex.

Evidence was obtained which suggested that there was no significant spread of label from the site of injection to the CNS by way of extracellular spaces, and the radioautographic technic appeared to define more reliably the distribution of small diameter fibers.
PubMedNeural associations of the frontal cortex.
214 Citations1972Walle J. H. Nauta
The mosaic of origin and termination of the various connections indicates that the convexity of the frontal lobe is reciprocally associated with the parietal and temporal cortex, while the major associations with the hippocampal mechanism originate from two separate areas, viz. the caudal orbitofrontal cortex and a region dorsal to the sulcus principalis.
SciencePutamen: Activity of Single Units during Slow and Rapid Arm Movements
137 Citations1973Mahlon R. DeLong
Findings indicate that at least a portion of the basal ganglia (the putamen) is primarily involved in the control of slow movements and are consistent with the hypothesis of Kornhuber that the primary motor function of thebasal ganglia is to generate slow ("ramp") rather than rapid ("ballistic") movements.

The habenular nuclei were substantially free from fiber degeneration in fifteen brains with the following relevant lesions: transection of hemisphere anterior to diagonal band in two, lesions of anterior septum in four, and lesions of olfactory tubercle in one.

The medial and lateral habenular nuclei of the cat project differentially to the septum, olfactory, tubercle, thalamus, midbrain tegmentum and tectum and the compact part rises from both nuclei.

In this investigation isolated lesions have been made in various parts of the corpus striatum with the Horsley-Clarke apparatus and the resulting degenerations analyzed through the study of Marchi preparations, correct certain misapprehensions and clarify some ambiguities regarding the myelinated efferent fibers of the globus pallidus.
