The distribution of posterior parietal fibers in the corpus callosum of the rhesus monkey

SummaryThe distribution of posterior parietal fibers in the corpus callosum of the rhesus monkey was analyzed using autoradiographic techniques. Posterior parietal fibers are located in the posterior half of the body of the corpus callosum. There is some segregation of fibers with respect to their place of origin within the posterior parietal lobe. However, there is also overlap, particularly between fibers coming from the caudal inferior parietal lobule and the medial parietal lobe.
