Abstract
In 28 cats after injections of HRP [horseradish peroxidase] solution (0.20-0.50 .mu.l) to the claustrum from the lateral side or from above, large numbers of HRP labeled cells were found in the anterior pretectal nuclei. This occurred in the anterior compact nucleus more often than in the anterior reticular nucleus. This type of labeling was not observed after injections of HRP to the cerebral cortex and striatum. Evidently a great number of pretecto-claustral axons exist connecting the anterior pretectal neurons with the claustrum.
