The projection from the superior colliculus to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus in the rat.
The projection of the superior colliculus upon the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat was examined by autoradiographic methods following injection of [3H]proline into the superior colliculus. A topographic projection was revealed, with the terminal distribution restricted to an outer lamina covering the dorso-lateral and caudal surface of the nucleus.
