Fronto-opercular and insular cortices of Japanese macaques were histochemically stained for cytochrome oxidase activity. The laminated pattern of enzyme activity differed in the different cytoarchitectonic areas. Area G, the presumed primary gustatory area, as well as area 3 were prominent because the third stripe, corresponding to the termination layers of the specific thalamocortical projection in these areas was very dark and thick in comparison with that from the neighboring areas. This approach provides a convenient histological aid for identification of area G.
对日本猕猴的额眶回和岛叶皮质进行了细胞色素氧化酶活性的组织化学染色。酶活性的分层模式在不同的细胞构筑区域有所不同。假定的主要味觉区G区以及3区很突出，因为与相邻区域相比，对应于这些区域中特定丘脑皮质投射终止层的第三条带非常暗且厚。这种方法为识别G区提供了一种方便的组织学辅助手段。
