  • Title: Visual response properties of ventral lateral geniculate nucleus cells projecting to the pretectum and superior colliculus in the cat.
    Author: Hada J, Yamagata Y, Hayashi Y.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1986 Jan 15; 363(1):165-9. PubMed ID: 3947950.
    Abstract:
    The visual properties of cells in the cat ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGV) identified antidromically from the pretectum and/or superior colliculus (projection cells) were studied in comparison with those of LGV neurons which could not be activated antidromically (non-projection cells). ON-phasic receptive fields (RFs) were relatively predominant in 27 projection cells, whereas ON-tonic RFs were found more commonly in the non-projection group. The distribution of the RF centers revealed a centroperipheral gradient of the visual field representation within the LGV that the central visual field was more densely organized.
