The frontal lobe connections of different architectonic areas of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) in the rhesus monkey were investigated with the aid of both anterograde and retrograde tracing techniques. The proisocortical area in the rostralmost STS connects with proisocortical regions on the ventral and medial surfaces of the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe projections of polymodal cortex (area TPO) in the upper bank of the STS are organized according to the rostral-to-caudal topography of the sulcus. Rostral TPO interconnects with ventral (areas 13, 12, 11, and 14), medial (areas 24, 32, 14, and 9), and lateral (areas 10, 12, and 46) sectors of the frontal lobe. The mid-portion of polymodal cortex projects to, and receives fibers from, rostral subdivisions of lateral prefrontal cortex, viz. dorsal area 46, areas 9 and 10, whereas the caudal segment of TPO has reciprocal connections with caudal subdivisions (areas 46, 8, and 6) of the lateral frontal lobe. Visual-related zones (areas TEa and TEm) in the rostral lower bank of the STS have connectional relationships with orbitofrontal areas 11 and 12 and lateral frontal areas 46 and 8. A presumed somatic sensory-related area in the rostral depth of the STS (area IPa) projects to orbital (areas 11 and 14) and lateral (areas 46, 10, and 12) sectors of the frontal lobe.
借助顺行和逆行追踪技术，对恒河猴颞上沟（STS）不同结构区域的额叶连接进行了研究。STS最前端的原皮质区域与额叶腹侧和内侧表面的原皮质区域相连。STS上缘多模式皮质（TPO区）的额叶投射是根据沟的前后地形组织的。前端TPO与额叶的腹侧（13区、12区、11区和14区）、内侧（24区、32区、14区和9区）和外侧（10区、12区和46区）部分相互连接。多模式皮质中部投射到前额叶外侧皮质的前端亚区，并接收来自该区域的纤维，即背侧46区、9区和10区，而TPO区的尾段与额叶外侧的尾段亚区（46区、8区和6区）有相互连接。STS前端下缘与视觉相关的区域（TEa区和TEm区）与眶额叶11区和12区以及额叶外侧46区和8区有连接关系。STS前端深处一个假定与躯体感觉相关的区域（IPa区）投射到额叶的眶部（11区和14区）和外侧（46区、10区和12区）部分。
