Among 235 histologically identified cells of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (LGV) in the cat, 66 responded antidromically to electrical stimulation of the pretectum (PT) and/or superior colliculus (SC): 22 projected to PT, 22 to SC and 22 to both sites. The LGV cells were innervated by optic tract fibers corresponding to axons of X- as well as W-type retinal ganglion cells.
