In five rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) we used anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques to investigate the projection from the inferior temporal cortex (area TE) to the prefrontal cortex as well as the course of the projecting fibers. The results showed that TE projects to both the inferior convexity and orbital surface of prefrontal cortex and that these projections course almost exclusively via the uncinate fascicle. Transection of the uncinate fascicle deprives the prefrontal cortex of virtually all input from TE, but leaves intact inputs from prestriate and parietal visual areas as well as the amygdala. Such transection also leaves intact many projections from TE to targets other than the prefrontal cortex, including the amygdala, ventral putamen, tail of the caudate nucleus, and pulvinar.
在五只恒河猴（猕猴）中，我们使用顺行和逆行追踪技术来研究从颞下皮质（TE区）到前额叶皮质的投射以及投射纤维的走行。结果显示，TE区向前额叶皮质的下凸面和眶面投射，并且这些投射几乎完全通过钩束走行。切断钩束几乎剥夺了前额叶皮质从TE区的所有输入，但保留了来自纹前和顶叶视觉区以及杏仁核的完整输入。这种切断还保留了TE区到前额叶皮质以外其他靶区的许多投射，包括杏仁核、腹侧壳核、尾状核尾部和丘脑枕。
