Development of the thalamic reticular and perireticular nuclei in rats and their relationship to the course of growing corticofugal and corticopetal axons
John Mitrofanis,Gary E. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: Because these nuclei lie directly in the path of corticofugal and corticopetal axons during development, the relationship of these growing axons to the reticular and perireticular cell groups is examined.

Distribution of uncrossed axons along the course of the optic nerve and chiasm of rodents.
Gary E. Baker,Glen Jeffery +1 more
TL;DR: The distribution of the ipsilaterally projecting population of retinofugal axons has been analyzed following injections of horseradish peroxidase into the optic tract of adult hamsters and rats to determine whether the topographical segregation of the cells of origin seen in the retina is maintained by their axons throughout the course of the optic nerve and chiasm.

Prechiasmatic Reordering of Fibre Diameter Classes in the Retinofugal Pathway of Ferrets.
TL;DR: This study examines the distribution of fibre diameter classes at various sites along the retinofugal pathway of adult ferrets and constructed regional fibre diameter spectra from diameter measurements taken from electron micrographs of thin sections of the intraorbital optic nerve.

Spatial‐frequency tuning and geniculocortical projections in the visual cortex (areas 17 and 18) of the pigmented ferret
TL;DR: Soma‐size analysis of the neurons in the A‐layers suggests the existence of two populations of relay neurons, which project differentially to areas 17 and 18 of the adult pigmented ferret, which may imply that the two cortical areas process visual information more in parallel than in series.

The Course of Fibre Diameter Classes Through the Chiasmatic Region in the Ferret
B. E. Reese,Gary E. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: The present study has examined the transition of fibre order from the optic nerve through the optic chiasm and into the optic tract in the ferret's retinofugal pathway to determine, for each diameter class, where the crossed and uncrossed components become separated in the chiasmatic region.
