  • Title: Thalamic afferents to the visual cortex in congenitally anophthalmic mice.
    Author: Godement P, Saillour P, Imbert M.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1979 Aug; 13(3):271-8. PubMed ID: 530479.
    Abstract:
    Retrograde cell labelling with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been used to study the thalamic afferents to the primary visual cortex (area 17) in mutant H1-ZRDCT-An ('eyeless') mice, in which the eyes are missing throughout development. Injections of HRP that were localised to a subregion of area 17, resulted in the labelling of a group of neurons in the ipsilateral dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus, showing the existence of a point-to-point connectivity. Many labelled cells were also found in other posterior thalamic nuclei especially in the lateral posterior nucleus which in normal animals contain very few or no labelled cells.
