  • Title: [Correlation between conduction velocities in fibers of the optic nerve and optic radiation in cats].
    Author: Shaban VM.
    Journal: Neirofiziologiia; 1978; 10(6):606-12. PubMed ID: 724003.
    Abstract:
    The responses of dorsal lateral geniculate body units to striate cortex and optic chiasm stimulation were examined in cats immobilized with d-tubocurarine. A high correlation between antidromic responses to striate cortex and orthodromic responses to optic chiasm stimulation was found (r=0.895; P=0.01). 9% of neurons responded antidromically to optic chiasm stimulation indicating the existence of centrifugal fibres in the optic nerve. The functional significance of time dispersion of the afferent volley in visual system is discussed.
