The topographical organization of the contralateral cortical projections of the motor hand area was studied with autoradiographic methods in 11 macaque monkeys. Two general observations were noted in the material studied. The commisural cortico-cortical connections of the motor hand area were directed to the contralateral precentral gyrus. The projections were preferentially directed to both homotopic and non-homotopic areas. Focally labeled areas of motor cortex (diameter 900 .mu.m) gave rise to individual terminal columns of label (diameter 600-900 .mu.m). Larger areas of labeled motor cortex (3000 .mu.m in diameter) gave rise to contralateral terminal bands of label. These bands (600-1000 .mu.m in width) were oriented in an antero-posterior direction and appeared to be formed by a sequence of adjacent labeled columns.
