Abstract
Cobalt lysine complex was used to show retinal projections in adult X. laevis. Retinal fibers partially decussate in the chiasma and terminate on both sides in the nucleus ovoidalis, lateral geniculate complex, pretectal area, optic tectum and in the basal optic nucleus. Cobalt-filled fibers were found in the preoptic area, dorsal hypothalamic area and in the periventricular region close to the wall of the 3rd ventricle.
