RetinaIntergeniculate leaflet of the lateral geniculate complex very strongnot knownautoradiography
Case pg527-8, fig1,2. Soma notes 6 rats (3 albino and 3 hooded) were used. Intraocular injection of [3H]leucine. Terminal notes separate retinal projection to a group of cells lying btwn DGL and VGL rostrally?Cells (small, oval) receive a clear bilateral projection?contra somewhat larger that ipsi proj. Great deal of variability in size and loc of proj btwn animals. i/c overlaps..

Case pg404, 407, fig5. Soma notes following injections of Fluoro-Gold into IGL, there are labeled neurons in contralateral IGL, caudal thalamic reticular nucleus, SCN, & adjacent anterior hypothalamic area & retrochiasmatic area where relatively large numbers of neurons are present?. Terminal notes Injecting fluorescent tracer into either SCN (bilaterally) or IGL. 50-100nl of fluoro-gold injected stereotaxically (n=10).

a group of fibers also extend laterally from the injection site, and appear to provide significant inputs to a circumscribed region situated above the optic tract in the lateral hypothalamic area (Fig. 2D) .
