Ipsilateral retinal projections in Japanese quail, Coturnix coturnix japonica
Brain Research Bulletin
|January 1, 1983
Abstract:
Ipsilateral retinal projections were investigated in Japanese quails by means of the Fink-Heimer method after retinal extirpation, and by means of direct injection of horseradish peroxidase or cobalt ion-tophoresis into the optic nerve. Ipsilateral projections were found in the nucleus lateralis anterior thalami, nucleus dorsolateralis anterior thalami pars lateralis, nucleus geniculatus lateralis pars ventralis, nucleus lentiformis mesencephali pars magnocellularis and nucleus ectomamillaris. No ipsilateral retino-tectal projections were observed.
