“…In addition, our analysis supports and extends previous works on the corticocaudate projections in carnivores (Oka, 1980;Tanaka et al, 1981;Royce, 1982Royce, , 1983Tanaka, 1983Tanaka, , 1987aFisher et al, 1986;Kubozono et al, 1986;Norita et al, 1991;Updyke, 1993;Rosell and Giménez-Amaya, 1999). Thus, the present work largely confirms that the cat caudate nucleus receives abundant projections from the frontal and parieto-temporal cortices with a topographical organization (Carman et al, 1965;Webster, 1965;Powell et al, 1974;Graybiel, 1981, 1990;Royce, 1982Royce, , 1983Room et al, 1985;Adinolfi and Levine, 1986;Kubozono et al, 1986;Malach and Graybiel, 1986;Updyke and Liles, 1987;Miyashita and Tamai, 1990;Norita et al, 1991;Updyke, 1993;Rosell and Giménez-Amaya, 1999).…”
