The axonal arborizations of lateral geniculate neurons in the striate cortex of the cat

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was injected into the optic radiations of adult cats. With placements close to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), the enzyme diffused retrogradely along the axons of geniculocortical relay neurons, entered their cell bodies, and, after reaction with diaminobenzidine, produced a Golgi‐like staining of entire neurons. When the injections were made close to the visual cortex, the enzyme diffused anterogradely and filled complete axonal arborizations in area 17.
