Retinorecipient nuclei of nocturnal rodents. This schematic illustrates the variety and distribution of brain nuclei innervated by retinal ganglion cells (see Morin and Studholme, 2014). Thalamic retinorecipient nuclei are colored in orange; other retinorecipient regions are colored gray. dLGN, dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; IGL, intergeniculate leaflet; vLGNe, ventral lateral geniculate nucleus, external division; AD, anterodorsal thalamic nucleus; LP, lateral posterior thalamic nucleus; CL, CL; PP, PP; PHb, para-habenular zone; ZI, zona incerta; SubG, subgeniculate nucleus; SGN, suprageniculate nucleus; SON, supraoptic nucleus; SCN, suprachiasmatic nucleus; RCH, retrochiasmatic area; SBPV, subparaventricular zone; AHN, anterior hypothalamic area; LHA, lateral hypothalamic area; MeA, medial amygdala, anterior; MePV, medial amygdala, posteroventral; AAV, anterior amygdaloid area, ventral; SI, substantia innominata; MT, medial terminal nucleus; LT, lateral terminal nucleus; DT, dorsal terminal nucleus; PN, paranigral nucleus; MRN, midbrain reticular nucleus; PB, parabrachial nucleus; DR, dorsal raphe nucleus; PAG, periaqueductal gray; CPT, commissural pretectal nucleus; MPT, medial pretectal nucleus; PPT, posterior pretectal nucleus; APT, anterior pretectal nucleus; OPN, olivary pretectal nucleus; NOT, nucleus of OT; SC, superior colliculus; DCIC, dorsal cortex of the inferior colliculus; RGC, retinal ganglion cell.
