Abstract
The terminals of axons projecting to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus from the thalamic reticular nucleus were identified by electron microscopy 8–24 h after placing small lesions in the ipsilateral reticular nucleus. The terminals contained flattened synaptic vesicles and made Gray type II axo-dendritic synaptic contacts with geniculate neurons. Their identification as F-axons accords well with physiological evidence for a powerful monosynaptic inhibitory input to geniculocortical projection cells from reticular nucleus neurons.
