Telencephalic projections to the eye in Python reticulatus.

The afferent connections of the eye of Python reticulatus have been studied with HRP, Nuclear yellow and Granular blue. It appeared that in this snake the eye receives afferent connections from basal telencephalic areas both ipsi- and contralaterally. Following experiments in which Granular blue was injected into one eye and Nuclear yellow into the other eye no double labeling occurred.
