Connections between the pretectum and prestriate visual cortex were examined following injection of HRP into area V4 of Macaca nemestrina monkeys. Orthograde label was found in nucleus olivarius (NO) and the sublenticular (SL) regions while retrogradely labeled neurons were present in the nucleus of the optic tract (NOT). Following injection of [3H]proline into one eye, 3 pretectal zones of retinal input were seen: NO, SL and the posterior pretectal region (PPR). These results indicate that NO and SL may be sites for retinal and cortical pathway interaction in primate pretectum.
在将辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）注入豚尾猕猴的V4区后，研究了顶盖前区与纹前视觉皮层之间的联系。在橄榄核（NO）和豆状核下（SL）区域发现了顺行标记，而在视束核（NOT）中存在逆行标记的神经元。在向一只眼睛注射[3H]脯氨酸后，观察到视网膜输入的3个顶盖前区：NO、SL和顶盖前区后部（PPR）。这些结果表明，NO和SL可能是灵长类顶盖前区视网膜和皮层通路相互作用的部位。
