TLDR
A detailed analysis of the cingulate cortex projection from the rat midline cortex to the midbrain and pons is performed using the autoradiographic technique to demonstrate a very precise topography of brainstem projections which may underlie the visceral and somatic motor functions of the Cingulate Cortex.

Topographical organization of the efferent projections of the medial prefrontal cortex in the rat: An anterograde tract-tracing study with Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutinin

TL;DR: The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the topographical organization of efferent projections from the cytoarchitectonic divisions of the mPFC (the medial precentral, dorsal anterior cingulate and prelimbic cortices) to determine whether the efferents from different regions within the prelimbics were organized topographically.

Functional Heterogeneity in Cingulate Cortex: The Anterior Executive and Posterior Evaluative Regions

TL;DR: There is a fundamental dichotomy between the functions of anterior and posterior cingulate cortices, which subserves primarily executive functions related to the emotional control of visceral, skeletal, and endocrine outflow and evaluation of spatial orientation and memory.

Ventral tegmental (A10) system: neurobiology. 1. Anatomy and connectivity.

TL;DR: The VTA contains the A10 group of DA containing neurons, which have been grouped into nuclei to be found on the floor of the midbrain tegmentum--Npn, Nif, Npbp and Nln rostralis and caudalis and the role of the VTA as a mediator of dialogue with the frontostriatal and limbic/extrapyramidal system is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Topographical organization and relationship with ventral striatal compartments of prefrontal corticostriatal projections in the rat.

TL;DR: The anterograde tracer Phaseolus vulgaris‐leucoagglutinin was used to examine the topographical organization of the projections to the striatum arising from the various cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex in the rat.

A proposed mechanism of emotion

TL;DR: The following discussion presents some anatomic, clinical and experimental data dealing with the hypothalamus, the gyrus cinguli, the hippocampus and their interconnections, which are proposed as representing theoretically the anatomic basis of the emotions.

An autoradiographic study of the organization of the efferet connections of the hippocampal formation in the rat

TL;DR: The efferent connections of the hippocampal formation of the rat have been re‐examined autoradiographically following the injection of small quantities of 3H‐amino acids into different parts of Ammon's horn and the adjoining structures to indicate quite clearly that each component of the hippocampusal formation has a distinctive pattern ofefferent connections.

The autoradiographic demonstration of axonal connections in the central nervous system.

TL;DR: There are several reasons for thinking that this method may offer a number of advantages over other currently available techniques, and it should be possible to do this by locally injecting radioactively labeled precursors of proteins or other macromolecules into the brain or spinal cord.

Immunohistochemical analysis of peptide pathways possibly related to pain and analgesia: enkephalin and substance P

TL;DR: The present immunohistochemical-anatomical findings support the hypothesis that stimulation-produced analgesia is related to activation of spinal and spinal trigeminal enkephalin interneurons forming axo-axonic synapses with (substance P?) pain afferents in the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn and the spinal trigEMinal nucleus.
