Abstract

In rats, unitary responses were recorded from lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Latencies were compared between the responses to cortical and peripheral stimulation with the same units. In one type of the LGN cells (P cells of Sefton and Burke), a positive correlation was found between the two kinds of latency. It was suggested that faster responding P cells were connected with peripheral pathways having larger conduction velocities. In another type of the LGN cells (I cells), two groups with different modes of activation were found.
