Summary The corticonigral projections from area 6 in the raccoon were investigated using the autoradiographic tracing method. Injections of tritiated proline and leucine were made into either medial or lateral area 6 subdivisions. Uniformly distributed silver grains were observed overlying the ipsilateral substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) while more restricted foci of label indicative of fiber labeling were present in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr). Autoradiographic label was also present in the substantia nigra pars lateralis (SNl), the retrorubral area and the ventral tegmental area of Tsai. The existence of corticonigral projections from area 6 may serve to modulate SNc activity as a whole and provide an important substrate for the cerebral control of movement.
