  • Title: Autoradiographic study of the retinal projections in the Chinese pangolin, Manis pentadactyla.
    Author: Lee GY, Chen ST, Shen CL.
    Journal: Brain Behav Evol; 1991; 37(2):104-10. PubMed ID: 2054583.
    Abstract:
    Autoradiography was used to investigate the optic system of the Chinese pangolin, Manis pentadactyla. The pattern of retinal projections in the Chinese pangolin is similar to that described in other mammals. Each retina projects bilaterally to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, dorsal and ventral lateral geniculate nuclei, pretectal area, and superior colliculus (SC). Only contralateral projections are found to the medial, lateral, and dorsal accessory optic nuclei. The large lateral nucleus receives a dense projection from the retina and forms a compact mass on the dorsolateral area of the cerebral peduncle. The lamination of the SC could not be clearly demonstrated in the brain of the Chinese pangolin.
