TL;DR
It could be shown that area 17 projects in a topographically and visuotopically organized manner onto the temporal visual area MT.
Abstract
With the aid of the techniques of tracing axonal pathways by anterograde fiber degeneration, and by anterograde (autoradiography) and retrograde (HRP-histochemistry) axoplasmic transport, it could be shown that area 17 projects in a topographically and visuotopically organized manner onto the temporal visual area MT. The fibers of this association system originate from pyramidal cells in layer IIIc, and from the solitary cells of Meynert; they terminate in layers IV and III of area MT. A correspondingly organized system of countercurrent fibers originates from pyramidal cells in layers III/II and V/VI of area MT and terminates separately in layers VI, IIIc and I of area 17.

The early stages of absorption of intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase in proximal tubules of mouse kidney were studied with a new ultrastructural cytochemical technique, which gives sharp localization and is sensitive to protein transport.

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.

The study on the somatic sensory cortex of the cat to the monkey is extended not only for the obvious reason of its closer affinity to man, but also because the larger size and clearer boundaries of the architectonic and functional subdivisions of the first somatics sensory area make these individual subdivisions more amenable to investigation.

The many disagreements over the anatomy, extent and functions of the prestriate cortex in the monkey have been reviewed at length and it is sufficient to point out that the disagreements have not only been interdisciplinary but also intradisciplinary.

Lesions injuring the white matter produced anterograde degeneration in the nucleus praetectalis, three pulvinar nuclei, the lateral geniculate nucleus and the pregeniculate nucleus, which must have resulted from the interruption of fibers originating in areas other than the lateral striate cortex, and passing beneath the site of the lesion.

The visuotopic organization of the second visual area (V II) in the owl monkey was mapped by determining the receptive field positions for single neurons and small clusters of neurons recorded with microelectrodes to suggest that V II serves as a functional adjunct to V I.

Although the striate cortex sends a convergent input to the cortex of the posterior bank of the superior temporal sulcus, it also sends a topographically organised input to areas 18 and 191,16, which raises the possibility that there might be two independent pathways between the Striate cortex with its precise topographical organisation and the cortex that has been shown to receive afferents from large parts of the primary visual cortex.
