title: Cortical projections of the medial visual area in the owl monkey, Aotus trivirgatus.
abstract: The cortical projections of the Medial Area (M) of the owl monkey were studied using the autoradiographic method. Area M projects to several extrastriate areas, including Area 18, in a pattern of terminations unlike that which would be expected if M was part of a larger Area 19 or V III band. The pattern of terminal lamination was found to be somewhat unusual in that projections were to layers VI, I and the deep portion of layer V in the major target areas.
