Document Summary
Midline transection (peripheral visual field = affected, field from nasal retinas from which this is affected) (lying ventral to each layer) receive input from nonm-nonp type. Striate cortex - bc unusually dense myelinated axons running parallel to surface appearing white in unstained sections. These cells in one layer might have dendrites extending into other layers. Some inhibitory neurons (that lack spines) sprinkled in all cortical layers, forming only local connections inputs/outputs of striate cortex. Koniocellular lgn synapses primarily in layers i and iii. Innervation of other cortical layers from layer ivc. Most intracortical connections:extend perpendicular to cortical surface along radial lines that run across the layers, from white matter to layer i; = . Layers iii and ivb: axon may form synapses with the dendrites of pyramidal cells of all layers. Incorporated into proteins of ganglion cells, transported down axons into lgn. Radioactive proteins axon terminals taken up by nearby lgn neurons.
