Properties of neurons in cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus: A comparison between medial interlaminar and laminated parts of the nucleus

We studied the receptive field properties of 460 cells in the cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd), 108 cells were located in the medial interlaminar nucleus (MIN) and 352 in the laminated part of the LGNd.
