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 pg100, fig1. Soma notes eye injections of 25microliters of [3H]leucine. Terminal notes We found a bilateral projection to the I.G.L..

Case pg60. Soma notes PHA-L was injected iontophoretically into 35 adult male Wistar rats. Terminal notes Injections involving the intergeniculate leaflet gave rise to a substantial number of fibres to the hypothalamus. A few fibres were observed in the adjacent lateral preoptic area and the tuber cinerum.
