Direct retinal pathways to the limbic thalamus of the monkey

Direct retinal pathways to the limbic thalamus of the monkey

S K Itaya et al. Exp Brain Res. 1986.

Abstract

Tritiated proline, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to HRP (WGA-HRP) were used as anterograde tracers in the monkey to reveal visual pathways. After intravitreal injections, three separate, direct routes of labeled retinal axons were followed to the thalamus. These routes eventually converged to innervate the lateral dorsal and anterodorsal thalamic nuclei. Thus, retinal input may reach the posterior cingulate cortex after a single synapse in lateral and anterior thalamic nuclei.
