title: Pallidocortical projections to the tempolar polar gyrus in the cat.
abstract: Marked projections from the globus pallidus (GP) to the temporal polar gyrus (TPG) of the cat were found by means of the PHA-L (Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin) and WGA-HRP (horseradish peroxidase conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin) methods. Pallidocortical fibers to the TPG originate mainly from the middle levels of the GP, and terminate all layers of the TPG cortex, especially in layers I, II and III. The GP neurons projecting to the TPG are large-multipolar or small-bipolar neurons. Almost all of these GP neurons show choline acetyltransferase-like immunoreactivity.
