Two groups of neurons are postulated to serve as inhibitory interneurons for principal lateral geniculate cells: intrageniculate interneurons and the perigeniculate neurons. We analysed the spatiotemporal characteristics of receptive fields (RFs) of cells from both groups identified by their anatomical position and responses to electrical stimulation of the optic chiasm and visual cortex. Intrageniculate interneuronal RFs resembled in all respects those of relay cells. One third of perigeniculate neurons had erratic responses to visual stimuli. Those which responded well to flashing stimuli possess large (up to 20 degrees) spatially heterogeneous ON/OFF type RFs. Spatiotemporal extents of excitatory domains of both intrageniculate interneurons and perigeniculate neurons RFs correspond to the extents of inhibitory domains in the principal cell RFs which were described previously.
膝状体内中间神经元和膝状体周围神经元。我们分析了通过解剖位置以及对视交叉和视觉皮层电刺激的反应来识别的这两组细胞的感受野（RF）的时空特征。膝状体内中间神经元的RF在各方面都与中继细胞的RF相似。三分之一的膝状体周围神经元对视觉刺激有不稳定的反应。那些对闪烁刺激反应良好的神经元具有大的（高达20度）空间异质性开/关型RF。膝状体内中间神经元和膝状体周围神经元RF的兴奋域的时空范围与先前描述的主细胞RF中的抑制域范围相对应。
