Fibrillar degeneration after extirpation of the frontal cortical field F2, central part, was observed in dogs by Nauta--Gygax and Fink--Heimer's methods. Degenerated fibrillae were stated to form two bundles and terminate near the neurons of nonspecific thalamic nuclei: n. ret, MD, pf, sprf, as well as in the neurons of specific thalamic nuclei: n. Vna, cgl, cgm, pul. Degenerated processes of the frontal cortex cells projected to the neurons of basal nuclei: the head of nucleus caudatus, putamen, globus pallidus. In the claustrum degenerative changes were not observed.
