Relay cell classes in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the cat and the effects of visual deprivation

This study presents evidence that the X‐ and Y‐ cells described physiologically in the A laminae of the cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) are two morphologically distinct cell types recognizable in Golgi preparations.
