Exuberant projection into the corpus callosum from the visual cortex of newborn cats.
In the first postnatal week, neurones projecting into the corpus callosum can be identified in kitten's visual cortex by retrograde transport of HRP. The neurones are located in layers III, IV, and VI. The region of cortex which gives rise to the callosal projection extends beyond its adult boundaries over most of area 17, 18, 19 and in the suprasylvian sulcus.
