Abstract
Lesions were placed in the lateral geniculate nucleus of cats, and degeneration was traced in the brains after survival times ranging from 5 to 21 days. Degenerated fibers could be seen in the corpus callosum and in the lateral and suprasylvian gyri of the opposite hemisphere. Results suggest the presence of a crossed geniculocortical pathway.Keywords
