The relation between the lateral septal nucleus and the cingulate cortex of the monkey was investigated by the technique of retrograde cell degeneration. One hemidecorticate animal in which the gyrus cinguli was relatively preserved showed no cell loss in the lateral septal nucleus. Three animals, two with bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus lesions and one with a posterior cingulate gyrus lesion, showed cell loss in the lateral septal nucleus. These findings suggest that in the monkey there is a projection from the lateral septal nucleus to the gyrus cinguli.
