Abstract:
Direct retinothalamic projections in the mole, an animal with a highly reduced visual system, were studied after an intraocular injection of wheat germ-agglutinated horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Anterogradely labeled axon terminals were found not only in the dorsal and ventral nuclei of the lateral geniculate body but also in the lateroposterior nucleus on the side contralateral to the intraocular WGA-HRP injection.
