A forebrain visual projection in the frog ( Rana pipiens)

In the frog ( Rana pipiens) using a modification of the Fink-Heimer degeneration stain, a projection was traced from the lateral anterior thalamus via the lateral forebrain bundle to the ipsilateral striatum in the ventrolateral area of the forebrain. Striatal degeneration extended from the anterior...

Summary:In the frog ( Rana pipiens) using a modification of the Fink-Heimer degeneration stain, a projection was traced from the lateral anterior thalamus via the lateral forebrain bundle to the ipsilateral striatum in the ventrolateral area of the forebrain. Striatal degeneration extended from the anterior commissure to the olfactory bulb. Single-unit microelectrode recording revealed that this area contained visual units that responded to the on and off of light.
