CORRELATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF RETINAL GANGLION-CELLS AND THEIR PROJECTION PATTERN IN THE ALBINO-RAT

Injecting Fluoro-Gold (FG) and Evans-Blue (EB) into the right dLGN and SC in the adult albino rat, ipsilaterally projecting double-labeled r etinal ganglion cells were mainly seen in the ventrotemporal crescent. They were mainly large sized cells. The ipsilaterally projecting doub le-labeled cells tended to have larger somata than the single- and dou ble-labeled cells projecting to the contralateral superior colliculus and/or dorsal nucleus of the lateral geniculate body.
