Afferent and efferent connections of the striate and extrastriate visual cortex of the normal and reeler mouse

In order to analyze the role of lamination in establishing the precisely ordered connectional pattern of the neocortex, we compared the afferent and efferent connections of the visual cortical areas in normal mice with those of the mutant mouse reeler (rl). The reeler mutation causes disruption of the laminar organization of the neocortex; all classes of neurons are present but are abnormally located. The corticocortical and thalamocortical connections of visual cortical areas 17, 18a, and 18b were determined in normal and reeler mice with injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or HRP conjugated with wheat germ agglutinin (HRP‐WGA). The diffusion of HRP‐WGA is highly restricted due to the surface binding properties of the lectin; it was particularly effective in demonstrating retinotopically ordered connections.
