Laminar origin of the tecto-thalamic projections in the albino rat
Abstract
Cells of origin of the tecto-LP (lateroposterior nucleus of the thalamus) projection and the tecto-LGNd (dorsal nucleus of the lateral geniculate body) projection were studied in the albino rat by means of retrograde transport of wheat germ agglutinin conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP). Tecto-LGNd neurons with small spindle form were located in the stratum griseum superficiale of the superior colliculus (SC), whereas tecto-LP neurons with polygonal shape were found in the stratum opticum of the SC.
