  • Title: Laminar distribution of tectal, parabigeminal and pretectal inputs to the primate dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus: connectional studies in Galago crassicaudatus.
    Author: Harting JK, Hashikawa T, Van Lieshout D.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1986 Feb 26; 366(1-2):358-63. PubMed ID: 3697691.
    Abstract:
    We have studied the distribution of 3 extraretinal, subcortical inputs to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the prosimian primate Galago. Our connectional findings reveal that axons arising from the superior colliculus and the parabigeminal nucleus influence the W-cell system via their innervation of the two small-celled geniculate laminae (internal and external koniocellular) and the interlaminar zones; parabigeminal axons also innervate each of the 4 non-tectally innervated layers. Pretectal axons, on the other hand, distribute mainly to the parvocellular laminae and thus influence primarily the X-cell system.
