Explore how primates' brains process the world: the central visual, auditory, and touch pathways unfold with clear, methodical investigation.
This classic study maps the three main afferent fiber systems in the primate cerebral cortex. Based on experiments with monkeys, it traces the central portions of somatic sensory, auditory, and visual paths from thalamic origins to their cortical terminations. The work emphasizes how these pathways organize, how they project to specific cortical areas, and what this means for understanding sensation and perception. Rich with figures and detailed descriptions, it offers a foundational look at brain pathways that shape mind and behavior.
- Learn how the visual system travels from the external geniculate body to a single, sharply delimited cortical region, the striate area.
- See how the other major paths—the somatic sensory and auditory systems—appear to remain unilateral through their cortical courses.
- Discover how anatomical findings relate to function and to clinical ideas about brain lesions and sensory processing.
- Review the long-standing debate over how the retina projects to the cortex and what this means for central vision.
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, historic account of cortical pathways and their implications for neuroscience and neuroanatomy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a meticulous investigation by the author into the structure and function of the afferent fibre systems of the primate brain, delves into the three main routes by which sensory information reaches the cerebral cortex. The author challenges prevailing notions of the time, arguing instead for an intricate arrangement of fibre systems within the brain. Through detailed analysis of experimental injuries to the thalamus, the author provides novel insights into the termination of ascending tracts from the lower regions of the neuraxis, thalamic nuclei, cortical fibres, and fibres originating and terminating within the thalamus. The author's work serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the anatomical and physiological underpinnings of central nervous function.
