The afferent cortical connections of individual cytoarchitectonic areas within the superior temporal sulcus (STS) of the rhesus monkey were studied by retrograde tracer techniques, including double tracer experiments. Rostral superior temporal polysensory (STP) cortex (area TPO-1) receives input from the rostral superior temporal gyrus (STG), cortex of the circular sulcus, and parahippocampal gyrus (PHG) (areas 35, TF, and TL). Mid-STP cortex (areas TPO-2 and -3) has input from the mid-STG, cortex of the mid-circular sulcus, caudal inferior parietal lobule (IPL), cingulate gyrus (areas, 23, 24, retrosplenial cortex), and mid-PHG (areas 28, TF, TH, and TL). Caudal STP cortex (area TPO-4) has afferent connections with the caudal STG, cortex of the caudal insula and caudal circular sulcus, caudal IPL, lower bank of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), medial parietal lobe, cingulate gyrus, and mid- and caudal PHG (areas TF, TH, TL; prostriate area). The most rostral cortex of the lower bank of the STS (areas TEa and TEm), a presumed visual association area, receives input from the rostral inferotemporal (IT) region; more caudal portions of areas TEa and TEm have afferent connections with the caudal IT region, PHG, preoccipital gyrus, and cortex of the lower bank of the IPS.
通过逆行示踪技术，包括双重示踪实验，研究了恒河猴颞上沟（STS）内各个细胞构筑区的传入皮质连接。颞上多感觉前部（STP）皮质（TPO-1区）接收来自颞上回前部（STG）、环状沟皮质和海马旁回（PHG）（35区、TF区和TL区）的输入。STP皮质中部（TPO-2区和TPO-3区）的输入来自STG中部、中央沟中部皮质、顶下小叶尾部（IPL）、扣带回（23区、24区、压后皮质）和PHG中部（28区、TF区、TH区和TL区）。STP皮质尾部（TPO-4区）与STG尾部、岛叶尾部和环状沟尾部皮质、IPL尾部、顶内沟（IPS）下壁、顶叶内侧、扣带回以及PHG中部和尾部（TF区、TH区、TL区；纹旁区）有传入连接。STS下壁最前部的皮质（TEa区和TEm区），推测为视觉联合区，接收来自颞下前部（IT）区域的输入；TEa区和TEm区更靠后的部分与IT区域尾部、PHG、枕前回以及IPS下壁皮质有传入连接。
