Corticospinal Connections: Postnatal Development in the Rhesus Monkey

The spinal distribution of the corticospinal fibers was studied experimentally in infant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) by means of the Nauta-Gygax silver impregnation technique. The findings suggest that the bulk of the direct cortico-motoneuronal connections in the rhesus monkey are established p...

Description
Summary:The spinal distribution of the corticospinal fibers was studied experimentally in infant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) by means of the Nauta-Gygax silver impregnation technique. The findings suggest that the bulk of the direct cortico-motoneuronal connections in the rhesus monkey are established postnatally, during at least the first 8 months of life.
