Figure 1. Anterior-posterior topography and lamination patterns of RGC types in the superior colliculus.

Figure 1

Temporal (T) axons of all RGC types (yellow) project to the anterior SC and nasal (N) axons (green) project to the posterior SC. Direction-selective RGC types labeled in TRHR-GFP and DRD4-GFP transgenic lines project to superficial laminae of the uSGS (upper stratum griseum superficiale) (red), Off transient RGCs labeled by CB2-GFP transgenic line project to deeper laminae of the uSGS (blue), and different types of RGCs from the same topographic location are aligned along the superficial-deep axis of the SC.
