Figure 3.

Retinogeniculate projections to the dLGN on E78. A, B, Contralateral retinal axons (top rows), ipsilateral retinal axons (middle rows), and their merged representation (bottom rows) in the right and left dLGNs of an E78 macaque. A, Rostral dLGN; B, middle dLGN. A, B, Eye-specific segregation is present throughout the P division of the E78 dLGN. B, In the middle dLGN, some overlap is seen in the M division. (However, for discussion of the contribution of fibers of passage to the overlap observed, see Results.) Even in the middle M division, however, substantial eye-specific segregation is present; only contralateral eye axons are found within the ventrolateral M division (asterisks), which corresponds to layer 1. Boundary between the M and P division is indicated by the dotted lines in Merged panels. A-D, Coronal plane is shown. Dorsal is up. O.T., Optic tract; LGv, ventral lateral geniculate nucleus. Scale bars, 550 μm.
