TL;DR
Comparison of the total callosal projection in the rat with that in opossum, racoon, cat, and rhesus monkey shows that the findings in theRat are similar to that in Opossum.
Abstract
The corpus callosum of adult albino rats was sectioned and the brain prepared with the Fink-Heimer technique 5 days postoperatively. The laminar distribution of neuron terminations in the cerebral cortex showed three distinct patterns: fronal-parietal-occipital-insular, and a variant in temporal region; cingular; and retrohippocampal. In the first type, the degenerating terminals were more numerous in supragranular than infragranular layer, while in the second type, they were limited to infragranular layers. In the third type, they were confined to supragranular layers. Comparison of the total callosal projection in the rat with that in opossum, racoon, cat, and rhesus monkey shows that the findings in the rat are similar to that in opossum.

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.
Brain ResearchProjections from the cingulate cortex in the rat
339 Citations1969Valerie B. Domesick
The cingulate cortex appears as a vast and differential neural mechanism receiving major impulse afflux from the limbic system by way of the anterior and laterodorsal thalamic nuclei, and exerting its influence primarily upon brain structures not directly involved in any of the currently recognized limbic circuits.
The Journal of Comparative NeurologyDistribution of corpus callosum and anterior commissure in cat and raccoon
277 Citations1965Ford F. Ebner, Ronald E. Myers
The outstanding feature of the commissural pattern in the raccoon was the total absence of degenerating fibers in the lobular complex relating to the digits of the forepaw.
Brain ResearchInterhemispheric projections of the parietal lobe in the rhesus monkey
237 Citations1969Deepak Ν. Pandya, L.A. Vignolo
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 data indicate that neurons with extra‐cortically projecting axons (long axons) invariably possess spine‐rich dendrites forming domains with remarkably regular horizontal parameters (i.e. modular domains), and cells with axons limited to intra-cortical paths are characterized by spine‐poor or spine‐free dendrite forming domains which are highly variable in size and shape.

141 Citations1967Robert H. Laatsch, William Cowan
Experimental degeneration of the commissural afferents to the dentate gyrus of the rat has been studied using the electron microscope and glial processes in the vicinity of degenerating axon terminals show reactive changes in the form of swelling and accumulation of glycogen, and probably proceed to phagocytosis of the degenerating nerve endings.

107 Citations1968Lennart Heimer, Alan Peters
It can be concluded that the Fink-Heimer silver impregnation technique is preferential in its impregnnation of degenerating axons and axon terminals.

90 Citations1967Lennart Heimer, Ford F. Ebner +1 more
It is generally presumed that each cortical area contributes fibers to the corpus callosum, and the sparse histological evidence available indicates that the cells of origin reside in cortical layers III through VI5,12,25.
