Projections of the postero-medial lateral suprasylvian area (PMLS) to cortical area 20 in cats with special reference to pupillary constriction: a physiological and anatomical study.
Projections of the pupillo-constrictor area in the postero-medial lateral suprasylvian area (PMLS) to that in cortical area 20 was studied using electrophysiological and anatomical methods. Cats were injected with wheatgerm agglutinin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase in the latter area, which was located by intracortical stimulation. Retrogradely labeled cells were found in the PMLS pupillo-constrictor area. It was concluded that the pupillo-constrictor area in the PMLS has direct projections to that in area 20.
