The Golgi and Nissl methods and cytochrome oxidase (CO) histochemistry were used to study the overall structure and neuronal morphology of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the Black Sea porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Differences were observed between dorsal and ventral portions of the nucleus in terms of cell size and CO staining. In addition to prominent fibre bundles crossing the LGN horizontally, vertically oriented variations of CO staining were apparent. Neuronal types in the LGN corresponded broadly to those observed in land mammals. The commonest were variants of multipolar cells, and may represent thalamocortical relay cells. Various other types were probably interneuronal.
采用高尔基染色法、尼氏染色法和细胞色素氧化酶（CO）组织化学方法，研究了黑海鼠海豚（Phocoena phocoena）外侧膝状核（LGN）的整体结构和神经元形态。在细胞核的背侧和腹侧部分，观察到细胞大小和CO染色方面的差异。除了有明显的纤维束水平穿过LGN外，CO染色的垂直方向变化也很明显。LGN中的神经元类型与陆地哺乳动物中观察到的大致对应。最常见的是多极细胞变体，可能代表丘脑皮质中继细胞。其他各种类型可能是中间神经元。
