Comparison of the cortical degeneration in the visual regions of the temporal lobe of the monkey following section of the anterior commissure and the splenium

The patterns of degeneration in the visual centers of the temporal lobe of the rhesus monkey following section of the anterior commissure and the splenium of the corpus callosum have been compared. Both commissural systems distribute interhemispheric fibres to the anterior part of the inferior temporal neocortex whereas the posterior part receives commissural fibres predominantly from the splenium.
