Employing double anterograde axonal tracing in combination with intracortical microstimulation, we examined the distribution patterns of corticosubthalamic inputs from forelimb representations of the dorsal (PMd) and ventral (PMv) divisions of the premotor cortex in the macaque monkey. The inputs from the PMd and PMv were distributed mainly in the medial aspect of the subthalamic nucleus (STN), in which their distribution areas overlapped each other. By the same experimental approach, we further compared corticosubthalamic input zones from the PMd/PMv with those from the primary motor cortex (MI) and the supplementary motor area (SMA). The input zones from the PMd/PMv and SMA largely overlapped in the medial aspect of the STN, whereas the input zones from the PMd/PMv and MI were virtually segregated mediolaterally in the STN.
