843 Nucleus of the optic tractMedial terminal nucleus of the accessory optic tract moderatefluorescent tracers
Case pg351. Soma notes Medal Terminal nucleus: high densities of neurons in MTNd,v that are single labeled with FG & are non GABAergic (30-120neurons/mm3). A 2nd pop of nerve cells are GABA immunoreactive. (MTNd: 78cells/mm3, MTNv: 33cells/mm3). Terminal notes Fluoro-gold was injected into a total of 18 rats, Of these 11 with less extensive spread of tracer beyond NOT & neighbouring DTN were used. Injs into lateral pretectum while centred in NOT/DTN spread over areas that include PRT(lat), MG, SC.
