Article Description

Based on one adult chimpanze monocularly injected with radioactive proline, retinofugal fibers were found to terminate bilaterally in the suprachiasmatic, prgeniculate, lateral geniculate, olivary, pretectal and lateral terminal nuclei, and the superior colliculi; the existence of a dorsal terminal nucleus of the accessory optic system is in doubt. In the ipsilateral geniculat nucleus, the fibers terminat in layers 2, 3 and 5; in the contralateral nucleus, they end in layers 1, 4, and 6. Miday throuh the geniculate nucleus, 3 and 4 split medially into two daughter layers 3 and 4 split medially into two daughter layers each. In the superior colliculi, most of the retinal terminals are aggregated superficially in a band located in the stratum griseum superficiale. The contralateral band is interrupted by gaps; the ipsilateral band has fewer gaps, is slightly thicker and located more deeply. There is a limited second tier of terminals in the contralateral superficial gray. Copyright © 1977 The Wistar Institute Press
