Abstract: The main result of this paper asserts that it suffices to prove the Jacobian Conjecture for all polynomial maps of the form $x+H$, where $H$ is homogeneous (of degree 3) and $JH$ is nilpotent and symmetric. Also a 6-dimensional counterexample is given to a dependence problem posed by de Bondt and van den Essen (2003).
