title: The duplex character of the corticofugal pathway from the striate cortex to the lateral geniculate complex of the cat.
abstract: From studies on signal conduction times in the corticofugal pathway from the striate cortex of the cat it has been proposed that S cells project to the LGN and C cells to the PGN. This concept has not received support from the histological examination of axons projecting to the two nuclei. The physiological experiments pointed to a clear segregation not apparent in the distribution of axonal diameters. A larger sample of signal conduction times, collected in the present study, is more consistent with the findings on the morphology of the pathway.
