Abstract

Inferior temporal (IT) cortex is a “high-order” region of extrastriate visual cortex important for visual form perception and recognition in adult primates. The pattern of cortical afferents from both ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres to anterior IT cortex was determined in infant macaque monkeys 7–18 weeks of age following injections of wheat-germ agglutinin-HRP. Within the ipsilateral hemisphere, the locations and laminar distribution of labeled cells were similar to those observed after comparable injections in adult monkeys. Specifically, ipsilateral afferents derived from visual areas V4, TEO, anterior and posterior IT, and STP, from parahippocampal, perirhinal, and parietal zones, and from several anterior zones including lateral and ventral frontal cortex, the insula, and cingulate cortex. Within the contralateral hemisphere, we observed labeled cells in homotopic regions of IT and in parahippocampal and perirhinal areas, as has been reported for adult monkeys. However, we also identified additional contralateral regions not previously known to provide input to anterior IT, including lateral and ventral frontal cortex, cingulate cortex, and STP. Overall, the strongest and most widespread projections from outside the temporal lobe were found in the youngest monkey, suggesting that some of these projections may represent transient circuitry necessary for the development of complex visual response properties in anterior IT.
