摘要：

Systematic collations and computational analyses of connectivity data from anatomical tract tracing can yield reliable and valuable insights into the principles governing cortical network organization. Based on an innovative databasing approach (http://www.cocomac.org) we present a preliminary analysis of the connectional organization of primate prefrontal cortex. Multivariate statistics of the connections between Wallier's areas reveal distinct orbito-medial and lateral networks linked by anterior cingulate and dorsal prefrontal areas. Novel indices of areal network participation show that ventrolateral prefrontal cortex is a unique relay of information from lateral areas affecting the entire region. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
