Patterns of cortical connections and architectonics were used to determine subdivisions of inferior temporal (IT) cortex of squirrel monkeys. Single or multiple injections of the tracers wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase, Fast Blue, Diamidino Yellow, Fluoro-Gold, and 3H-amino acids were placed into IT cortex. Most injections were placed in caudal IT cortex in the region previously shown to receive input from the caudal subdivision of the Dorsolateral Area, DLC; additional injections were placed in more rostral IT cortex. The results indicate the presence of two major regions: a caudal region, ITC, and a rostral region, ITR. An intermediate region of cortex along the ITC-ITR border that displays some connections of ITC and some connections of ITR may be another area. ITC contains a more myelinated dorsal area, ITCd, and a larger ventral area, ITCv. Both ITCd and ITCv receive a major projection from DLC; additional input from DLR, MT, and VII; and send strong projections to ITR, the lateral bank of the superior temporal sulcus, and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Only ITCd has strong connections with DLR and cortex in the depths of the superior temporal sulcus, and only ITCv has connections with lateral orbital cortex. The overall pattern of connections between ITC and DLC suggests that ITC has a crude topographic organization, with dorsal cortex representing the lower field and ventral cortex representing the upper field. ITR differs from ITC by receiving little if any input from DLC; projecting to inferior temporal polar cortex, the rostral Sylvian fissure, and medial orbital cortex; and having a less distinct layer IV. Comparison of subdivisions of inferior temporal cortex defined in the present study in squirrel monkeys and those reported in other primates suggests that ITC of squirrel monkeys may correspond to area TEO of macaque monkeys.
