Summary
This article from the 1920s–1930s Soviet medical encyclopedia describes the two bands of myelinated fibers located in the cerebral cortex, known as the internal and external striae of Baillarger. It outlines their anatomical positions within specific cortical layers according to myelin-architectural data and notes the participation of collateral axons and visual fibers.
Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
BAILLARGER'S STRIAE, two bands of myelinated fibers located in the cerebral cortex. According to myelin-architectural data, one of them, the internal stria of Baillarger, is located in layer 5b (according to Vogt), and the other, the external stria of Baillarger, the so-called Vicq d'Azyr's stria (see Vicq d'Azyr), is in the 4th layer. Collaterals of axons originating from pyramidal cells also take part in the formation of these striae; in the external stria of Baillarger in the occipital lobe, visual fibers also enter.
