Neuroscience Translations Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

  1. 1.

    Ascending axons from the rostral part of the head of the caudate nucleus run to the prefrontal and orbital cortex.

  2. 2.

    The ventro-medial part of the rostral division of the head of the caudate nucleus projects to the anterior region of the ipsilateral motor cortex.

  3. 3.

    The dorso-medial and central parts of the rostral division of the head of the caudate nucleus project to the premotor, anterior and central parts of the motor, and anterior, central and caudal parts of the orbital areas, and also on anterior limbic area 32 of the ipsilateral cortex.

  4. 4.

    Degenerated endings of caudato-cortical fibers are found in cortical layers VI, V and IV on small, oval cells and in invers V and III near to medium-sized and giant pyramids and their processes.
