Abstract Injections of the retrograde tracer HRP into the border region of the temporal visual area MT and adjoining cortex in Callithrix labeled pyramidal neurons in area 17 of the contralateral hemisphere. Evidence is presented that this newly discovered heterotopic callosal projection of the monkey striate cortex connects regions of representation of the zero vertical meridian of the visual field in a retinotopic order.
