Based on one adult chimpanzee monocularly injected with radioactive proline, retinofugal fibers were found to terminate bilaterally in the suprachiasmatic, pregeniculate, lateral geniculate, olivary, pretectal and lateral terminal nuclei, and the superior colliculi; the existence of a dorsal terminal nucleus of the accessory optic system is in doubt. In the ipsilateral geniculate nucleus, the fibers terminate in layers 2, 3 and 5; in the contralateral nucleus, they end in layers 1, 4 and 6. Midway through the geniculate nucleus, layers 3 and 4 split medially into two daughter layers each. In the superior colliculi, most of the retinal terminals are aggregated superficially in a band located in the stratum griseum superficiale. The contralateral band is interrupted by gaps; the ipsilateral band has fewer gaps, is slightly thicker and located more deeply. There is a limited second tier of terminals in the contralateral superficial gray.
基于对一只成年黑猩猩单眼注射放射性脯氨酸的研究，发现视网膜传出纤维双侧终止于视交叉上核、前膝状体、外侧膝状体、橄榄核、顶盖前核和外侧终核以及上丘；辅助视系统背侧终核的存在尚不确定。在同侧膝状核中，纤维终止于第2、3和5层；在对侧核中，它们终止于第1、4和6层。在膝状核中部，第3和4层在内侧各自分裂为两个子层。在上丘中，大多数视网膜终末浅表地聚集在位于浅灰质层的一条带中。对侧的带被间隙中断；同侧的带间隙较少，稍厚且位置更深。在对侧浅灰质中有有限的第二层终末。
