| Abstract: | Using the methods of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase and silver impregnation of degenerating axons, certain data have been obtained demonstrating that frontal, motor, orbital, insular and limbic fields of the cortex serve as sources of afferent fibers for the compact zone of the substantia nigra. The lateral zone gets projections from the same cortical areas (besides the limbic one) as the compact part and, in addition, from the parietal associative, acoustic and visual areas. |
