title: Lack of binocular inhibition in monocular segment of lateral geniculate nucleus of rabbits.
abstract: In the monocular segment of the rabbit lateral geniculate nucleus, relay cells responded exclusively to the contralateral optic input with an EPSP-IPSP sequence. The ipsilateral optic input could neither evoke PSPs nor facilitate the PSPs from the contralateral eye, indicating the absence of binocular inhibition in the segment.
