The localisation of the primary visual centres in the chick mesencephalon and diencephalon was determined by autoradiographic anterograde transport and degeneration techniques. Strong visual projections were found in the tectum, lateral anterior thalamic nucleus, lateroventral geniculate nucleus, superficial synencephalic nucleus, external nucleus, ectomammillary nucleus, tectal grey, dorsolateral anterior thalamus, rostrolateral part, and the pretectal optic area. Weaker retinal projections were found in the ventrolateral thalamus, two subregions of the dorsolateral anterior thalamus, lateral part, diffuse pretectal nucleus, dorsolateral anterior thalamus, magnocellular part, and the hypothalamus. An atlas of the retinal projections was constructed from sections.
通过放射自显影顺行运输和变性技术确定了雏鸡中脑和间脑中初级视觉中枢的定位。在顶盖、丘脑前外侧核、外侧腹侧膝状核、浅联合脑核、外侧核、乳头外核、顶盖灰质、丘脑前背外侧、嘴外侧部以及顶盖前视区发现了强烈的视觉投射。在丘脑腹外侧、丘脑前背外侧的两个亚区、外侧部、弥散顶盖前核、丘脑前背外侧大细胞部以及下丘脑发现了较弱的视网膜投射。根据切片构建了视网膜投射图谱。
