Frontal granular cortex input to the cingulate (M3), supplementary (M2) and primary (M1) motor cortices in the rhesus monkey

Although frontal lobe interconnections of the primary (area 4 or M1) and supplementary (area 6m or M2) motor cortices are well understood, how frontal granular (or prefrontal) cortex influences these and other motor cortices is not. Using fluorescent dyes in rhesus monkeys, we investigated the di…
