Efferent connections of area 17 in Galago

Lesions were made in dorsal area 17 of ten Galago . Subsequently degenerating efferent fibers were traced to their termination sites with the Fink‐Heimer silver impregnation method. The supragranular layers of area 17 send a strong projection onto the underlying layer V and onto the ipsilateral area 18. Area MT, the superior colliculus, the pulvinar, and the pons also receive a projection from the ipsilateral area 17.
