Journal ArticleDOI
Transcallosal connections of the distal forelimb representations of the primary and supplementary motor cortical areas in macaque monkeys
Eric M. Rouiller,Alexandre Babalian,O. Kazennikov,Véronique Moret,X. H. Yu,Mario Wiesendanger +5 more
TL;DR: The hand representations of the SMA and M1 strongly differ with respect to the strength and distribution of callosal connectivity with the former having more powerful and widespread callosal connections with a number of motor fields of the opposite cortex than the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
The thalamic connections with medial area 6 (supplementary motor cortex) in the monkey (macaca fascicularis)
TL;DR: The present anatomical labeling study is in agreement with the conclusion of Schell and Strick (1984) that the SMA, especially its central portion, is an important target of basal ganglia outflow via the thalamic relay VLo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebellothalamocortical and pallidothalamocortical projections to the primary and supplementary motor cortical areas: A multiple tracing study in macaque monkeys
TL;DR: The findings that both M1 and SMA are recipients of transthalamic inputs from GP and CN thus support the concept that a mixed subcortical input consisting of weighted contributions from cerebellum, basal ganglia, substantia nigra, and spinothalamic tract is directed to each functional component of the sensorimotor cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstimulation of the supplementary motor area (SMA) in the awake monkey
TL;DR: The supplementary motor area of threeMacaca fascicularis was mapped using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) and forelimb and hindlimb movements were evoked using currents of 30 μA or less, however, thresholds for evoking movements were higher than those in the primary motor cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticomotoneuronal connections in the rat: Evidence from double‐labeling of motoneurons and corticospinal axon arborizations
TL;DR: In order to investigate the possibility of direct corticomotoneuronal (CM) connections in the rat, an anterograde‐retrograde double‐labeling method was developed.
