title: A retino-pulvinar projection in the macaque monkey as visualized by the use of anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase.
abstract: A direct retino-pulvinar connection was found in the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata) by the anterograde horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. HRP injected into the vitreous cavity of one eye labeled a few small clusters of optic fiber terminals in the medial border regions of the inferior pulvinar nucleus bilaterally, with a contralateral predominance.
