Employing the fluorescent retrograde double labeling technique, the present study demonstrated that in the rat single neurons in the lateroposterior thalamic nucleus (LP) project to both the visual cortex and striatum, and that single neurons in the substantia nigra pars lateralis project to both the LP and striatum, or to both the superior colliculus and striatum. These results provide morphological evidence for the functional correlation between the visual system and basal ganglia.
本研究采用荧光逆行双重标记技术,证明在大鼠中,丘脑后外侧核(LP)中的单个神经元投射至视觉皮层和纹状体,黑质外侧部中的单个神经元投射至LP和纹状体,或投射至上丘和纹状体。这些结果为视觉系统与基底神经节之间的功能相关性提供了形态学证据。
