title: The fronto-striatal projection in the cat and monkey and its relationship to inhomogeneities established by acetylcholinesterase histochemistry.
abstract: The distribution of cortico-striatal fibers from the frontal cortex was studied by autoradiography in cat and monkey and compared with the patterns of striatal acetylcholinesterase activity observed in the same brains. The clustering patterns of labeled fronto-caudate fibers were found to correspond to a large extent to the inhomogeneities in enzyme activity identified by the acetylthiocholinesterase staining method.
