Figure 1

(A) The sites of biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) injections are represented by red dots. (B) A schematic drawing representing a coronal section of the dLGN near the rostro-caudal midpoint of the nucleus, A–P plane 5, superimposed on a corresponding cresyl violet stained section of the dLGN. The dLGN is divided arbitrarily into six sectors: Sd, superficial dorsal; Sv, superficial ventral; Md, mid-dorsal; Mv, mid-ventral; Dd, deep dorsal; Dv, deep ventral. Scale bar: 3.0 mm for A and 250 µm for B.
