TL;DR
A cyto- and myeloarchitectonic study reveals the presence of a distinct cortical zone ("area POa") in the lower bank of the intraparietal sulcus of the rhesus monkey.
Abstract
A cyto- and myeloarchitectonic study reveals the presence of a distinct cortical zone ("area POa") in the lower bank of the intraparietal sulcus of the rhesus monkey. Using both autoradiographic and silver impregnation techniques, an analysis of cortical connections shows two overlapping projections to this sulcal zone. These come from (1) the middle portion of the preoccipital gyrus (area OA) and (2) the rostral inferior parietal lobule (area PF).

A large proportion of area 5 neurons were relatively insensitive to passive joint rotations, as compared with similar neurons of the postcentral gyrus, but were driven to high rates of discharge when the same joint was rotated during an active movement of the animal.

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.

Anatomical and functional studies of the visual cortex of the rhesus monkey have shown that it is made up of a multiplicity of distinct areas that seem to be functionally specialised to analyse different features of thevisual environment.

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.

There exists a “focus” within the posterior parietal region, along the posterior margin of area 2 of Brodmann and within the anterior extremity of the intra-parietal sulcus, such that a small removal from this focal area will give rise to more severe impairment than a removal of comparable size from elsewhere within the buttocks region.
