The combined use of 2 anterograde axonal transport methods reveals that in the prefrontal association cortex of macaque monkeys, associational projections from the parietal lobe of 1 hemisphere interdigitate with callosal projections from the opposite frontal lobe, forming adjacent columns 300-750 micrometers wide. The finding of separate and alternating ipsilateral and contralateral inputs in the frontal association cortex opens up new possibilities for the functional analysis of this large but unexplored area of the primate brain.
