Cell sizes in the lateral geniculate nucleus of normal infant and adult rhesus monkeys.
Measurements of mean cell area have been made in the lateral geniculate nuclei of 16 normal rhesus monkeys as a control for changes following visual deprivation. There is little variability between animals and no significant growth between 8 days of age and adulthood in the parvocellular laminae. The magnocellular laminae show more variability and some continuing growth after 8 days of age.
