The connections of the middle temporal area (MT) were investi-gated in the marmoset, one of the smallest primates. Reflecting the predictions of studies that modeled cortical allometric growth and development, we found that in adult marmosets MT is connected to a more extensive network of cortical areas than in larger primates, including consistent connections with retrosplenial, cingulate, and parahippocampal areas and more widespread connections with temporal, frontal, and parietal areas. Quantitative analyses reveal that MT receives the majority of its afferents from other motion-sensitive areas in the temporal lobe and from the occipitoparietal transition areas, each of these regions containing approximately 30 % of the projecting cells. Projections from the primary visual area (V1) and the second visual area (V2) account for approximately 20% of projecting neurons, whereas ‘‘ventral stream’ ’ and higher-order association areas form quantitatively minor projections. A relation-ship exists between the percentage of supragranular layer neurons forming the projections from different areas and their putative hierarchical rank. However, this relationship is clearer for projec-tions from ventral stream areas than it is for projections from dorsal stream or frontal areas. These results provide the first quantitative data on the connections of MT and extend current understanding of the relationship between cortical anatomy and function in evolution. |
