With the aid of the techniques of tracing axonal pathways by anterograde fiber degeneration, and by anterograde (autoradiography) and retrograde (HRP-histochemistry) axoplasmic transport, it could be shown that area 17 projects in a topographically and visuotopically organized manner onto the temporal visual area MT. The fibers of this association system originate from pyramidal cells in layer IIIc, and from the solitary cells of Meynert; they terminate in layers IV and III of area MT. A correspondingly organized system of countercurrent fibers originates from pyramidal cells in layers III/II and V/VI of area MT and terminates separately in layers VI, IIIc and I of area 17.
借助顺行性纤维变性追踪轴突通路的技术，以及顺行性（放射自显影）和逆行性（辣根过氧化物酶组织化学）轴浆运输技术，可以证明17区以拓扑学和视拓扑学组织的方式投射到颞侧视觉区MT。这个联合系统的纤维起源于IIIc层的锥体细胞和迈内特孤立细胞；它们终止于MT区的IV层和III层。一个相应组织的逆流纤维系统起源于MT区III/II层和V/VI层的锥体细胞，并分别终止于17区的VI层、IIIc层和I层。
