The ventral striatal inputs in the macaque monkey were studied in relation to the connections from the orbitofrontal cortex, focusing on the infralimbic area (IL or area 25), thalamic nuclei and the vagal-solitary nuclear complex (NTS-X). The IL projects to more restricted parts of the ventral striatum (shell and core of nucleus accumbens, Acb; ventricular margin of caudate nucleus, CN), whereas the striatal projections of the prelimbic area (PL) are more extended than those of IL. The dorsal midline nuclei project densley to area 13, agranular insular cortex (Ia), and Acb. The nucleus ventralis anterior pars magnocellularis (VAmc) projects to the IL, perigenual area and to the region of CN between the limbic and association striatum with partial overlapping, and seems to play a role as an interface between the limbic and motor systems. The distribution pattern of retrogradely labeled neurons was similar in the midline-intralaminar thalamic nuclei following injections in the IL and ventral striatum.
研究了猕猴腹侧纹状体的输入与眶额叶皮质的联系，重点关注边缘下区（IL或25区）、丘脑核以及迷走神经-孤束核复合体（NTS-X）。IL投射到腹侧纹状体的更局限部分（伏隔核的壳和核心，Acb；尾状核的脑室边缘，CN），而前边缘区（PL）的纹状体投射比IL的更广泛。背中线核密集投射到13区、无颗粒岛叶皮质（Ia）和Acb。腹侧前核大细胞部（VAmc）投射到IL、膝周区以及边缘和联合纹状体之间的CN区域，部分重叠，似乎在边缘系统和运动系统之间起到接口的作用。在IL和腹侧纹状体注射后，中线-板内核丘脑核中逆行标记神经元的分布模式相似。
