Fiber connections of the so-called nucleus geniculatus lateralis (or the nucleus pretectalis superficialis pars parvocellularis) in a teleost, Navodon modestus, were examined by means of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracing method. The nucleus receives fibers from the contralateral retina, ipsilateral optic tectum and nucleus isthmi, and projects bilaterally to the nucleus intermedius of Brickner and ipsilaterally to the optic tectum and raphe nuclei. The fiber connections suggest that the nucleus relays mainly visual information to the inferior lobe (hypothalamus) but not to the telencephalon. The nucleus is not a homologous structure to the lateral geniculate nucleus in other vertebrate classes.
采用辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）追踪法，对一种硬骨鱼——绿鳍马面鲀的所谓外侧膝状核（或浅前顶盖核小细胞部）的纤维连接进行了研究。该核接受来自对侧视网膜、同侧视顶盖和峡核的纤维，并双侧投射至布里克纳中间核，同侧投射至视顶盖和中缝核。纤维连接表明，该核主要将视觉信息传递至下叶（下丘脑），而非端脑。该核并非其他脊椎动物类群中外侧膝状核的同源结构。
