Ipsilateral projections to the terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system in the albino rat.
The projection of the retinal ganglion cells to the terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system has been re-examined in the albino rat. After intravitreal injection of [3H]leucine the contralateral and ipsilateral terminal nuclei were labeled. This complete ipsilateral projection in the rat has, of yet, not been documented.
