TL;DR
It is concluded that the subthalamic nucleus is a convergence site of pallidal and corticomotor and frontal projections and may exert an influence on the pallido-subthalamic-pallidal inhibitory feedback loop.
Abstract
Corticofugal projections were examined by means of the autoradiographic tracer method in 21 macaca fascicularis. The labeled material was injected into the main body representation areas of the precentral motor cortex and into various regions of Brodmann's areas 6, 8 and 9 of the frontal lobe. The ipsilateral subthalamic nucleus receives a moderately strong and somato-topically organized projection from Woolsey's precentral motor cortex. This projection is mainly restricted to the lateral moiety. The remaining nucleus is occupied by less intensive projections from premotor and prefrontal areas. It is concluded that the subthalamic nucleus is a convergence site of pallidal and corticomotor and frontal projections. Cortical afferents may exert an influence on the pallido-subthalamic-pallidal inhibitory feedback loop.

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.

It was found that when the cortical projections are viewed in a temporofrontal sequence, their terminal distribution in the brain stem tends to shift from dorsal to ventral and medial, and the temporal, occipital and caudal parietal areas project primarily to the superior colliculus and to auditory nuclei.

The efferent connections from area 6 and adjacent regions of area 9 were investigated in 9 adult monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) using the autoradiographic technique and differences of projection patterns within area 6 itself and, in particular, the supplementary motor area were discussed.

The efferent projections from the cortical area 8 (frontal eye field) have been re‐examined in four adult monkeys by injecting small amounts of H3 ‐proline into the rostral bank of sulcus arcuatus and using the autoradiographic tracing technique.

The cells of origin of the corticostriatal projection have been identified in squirrel monkeys by the use of the retrograde horseradish peroxidase method and are unlikely to be collaterals of axons projecting to other sites.

Subthalamic dyskinesia, due to lesions in the subthalamic nucleus, is a consequence of removal of inhibitory influences acting upon the medial segment of the globus pallidus.

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.

This case showed thus that the fibres from the more occipital part of A. 6, as compared with those of the previous experiment, reach the internal capsule at a somewhat more Occipital level and within the pes pedunculi occupy its most medial sixth.
