The orbital and medial prefrontal circuit through the primate basal ganglia
SN Haber, K Kunishio, M Mizobuchi and E Lynd-Balta
Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, University of Rochester School of Medicine, New York 14642, USA.
The ventral striatum is considered an interface between limbic and motor
systems. We followed the orbital and medial prefrontal circuit through the
monkey basal ganglia by analyzing the projection from this cortical area to
the ventral striatum and the representation of orbitofrontal cortex via the
striatum, in the globus pallidus and substantia nigra. Following injections
of Lucifer yellow and horse radish peroxidase into the medial ventral
striatum, there is a very densely labeled distribution of cells in areas
13a and 13b, primarily in layers V and VI, and in medial prefrontal areas
32 and 25. Injections into the shell of the nucleus accumbens labeled
primarily areas 25 and 32. The reaction product in the globus pallidus and
the substantia nigra supports previous studies demonstrating that efferent
projections from the ventral striatum are represented topographically in
the ventral pallidum and nontopographically in the substantia nigra, pars
compacta. Tritiated amino acid or PHA-L tracer injections into
orbitofrontal cortex produce dense patches of terminal labeling along the
medial edge of the caudate nucleus and the dorsal part of the nucleus
accumbens. These results demonstrate that the orbital prefrontal cortex
projects primarily to the medial edge of the ventral striatum and to the
core of the nucleus accumbens. The arrangement of terminals in the globus
pallidus and substantia nigra show two different patterns. Thus, the
orbital and medial prefrontal cortex is represented in a confined region of
the globus pallidus but throughout an extensive area of the dorsal
substantia nigra. Terminals are extensive throughout the region of the
dopaminergic neurons, suggesting that this input may influence a wide area
of both the striatum and frontal cortex.
