Medial prefrontal cortex (A32 and A25) projections in the common marmoset: a subcortical anterograde study

Abstract This study was aimed at establishing the subcorticals substrates of the cognitive and visceromotor circuits of the A32 and A25 cortices of the medial prefrontal cortex and their projections and interactions with subcortical complexes in the common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus). The s...
