  • Title: The percentage of projection neurons and interneurons in the human lateral geniculate nucleus.
    Author: Braak H, Bachmann A.
    Journal: Hum Neurobiol; 1985; 4(2):91-5. PubMed ID: 4030427.
    Abstract:
    Projection neurons and local circuit neurons of the human lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) offer different patterns of lipofuscin pigmentation. One type of projection cell (type I neuron) and two varieties of local circuit neurons (type II and type III neurons) can be distinguished on account of their characteristic pigmentation. The majority of the nerve cells are type I projection neurons. Pigmented type II neurons comprise about 8.5% and type III neurons devoid of pigment amount to only 0.2% of the nerve cells.
