Retinopetal neurons located in the diencephalon of the Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata).
After a monocular injection of the cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) into the vitreous chamber of one eye, the retrogradely labeled retinopetal neurons were studied in the diencephalon of the Japanese monkey. The retrogradely transported tracer was visualized using the peroxidase antibody technique and an anti-cholera toxin antibody. The CTB-labeled nerve cell bodies were scattered in the periventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, lateral hypothalamic area, and midline nuclei of the thalamus on both sides. In addition, a few retrogradely labeled nerve somata were observed in the most rostral portion of the lateral geniculate nucleus on the contralateral side.
