In this study we traced the afferent and efferent connections of the inferior region of area 6 by injecting small amounts of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA\u2010HRP) and fluorescent tracers (fast blue and diamidino yellow) into restricted parts of inferior area 6 and in physiologically determined fields of area 4.<\/jats:p><jats:p>There is an ordered topographic pattern of connections between inferior area 6 and area 4. The region near the spur of the arcuate sulcus (hand field) projects to the area 4 hand field while the lateral part of inferior area 6 (mouth field) is connected with the corresponding field in area 4. The organization of the connections between the two fields is, however, different. The hand fields in area 6 and 4 have direct reciprocal projections, whereas the mouth field in the postarcuate cortex relays information to area 4 via a zone intermediate between the arcuate and the central sulcus. This zone corresponds to the cytochrome oxidase area F4 (Matelli, Luppino, and Rizzolatti:<jats:italic>Behav<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>Brain Res<\/jats:italic>. <jats:italic>18<\/jats:italic>: 125\u2013137, '85). The inferior area 6 also has topographically organized connections with the supplementary motor area.<\/jats:p><jats:p>The inferior area 6 receives and sends fibers to a series of discrete cortical areas located in the lower cortical moiety (Sanides: <jats:italic>The Structure and Function of the Nervous Tissue<\/jats:italic>, Vol. 5. New York: Academic Press, pp 329\u2013453, '72). These areas that form a broad ring around the central sulcus are the ventral bank of the principal sulcus and the adjacent area 46, the precentral operculum (PrOC), area SII (Jones and Burton: <jats:italic>J. Comp. Neurol. 168<\/jats:italic>:197\u2013248, '76), the parietal operculum, and the rostral part of the inferior parietal lobule including the lower bank of the intraparietal suclus. Finall, the inferior area 6 has sparse but consistent connections with insular and cingulate cortices. The functional significance of this complex pattern of connections is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.902510302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T20:09:47Z","timestamp":1104610187000},"page":"281-298","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":380,"title":["Afferent and efferent projections of the inferior area 6 in the macaque monkey"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"251","author":[{"given":"Massimo","family":"Matelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rosolino","family":"Camarda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mitchell","family":"Glickstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Rizzolatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"7","volume-title":"The Precentral Motor Cortex","author":"von Bonin G.","year":"1944"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","first-page":"67","article-title":"The frontal lobe of primates: Cytoarchitectural studies","volume":"27","author":"von Bonin G.","year":"1948","journal-title":"Res.
