| Abstract: | In acute experiments on cats anesthetized with pentobarbital and chloralose, the method of recording focal responses was used to study projections of various parts of the orbito-frontal and basal temporal cortex and also of the hippocampus in the region of the pons. Different formations of the fronto-basal zones of the neocortex were shown to have local projections in the rostral zones of the pons and relatively diffuse projections in its caudal zones. Projections of the hippocampus in structures of the pons are less well marked than those of the fronto-basal zones of the neocortex and their focal responses are more diffuse in character. Representation of all the structures studied is found only in the nuclei of the gray matter of the pons. The orbito-insular zone of the orbito-frontal cortex is not represented in the caudal zones of the reticular formation; the basal temporal cortex has no projection in the middle cerebellar peduncles.A.
