Most of the brains were from neurologically normal individuals and were obtained during routine autopsy procedures. The laminar arrangement within the human nucleus is surprisingly variable. It is always possible to recognize a small segment with two layers (the monocular segment), one with four layers and one with six layers. Often an 8\u2010layered segment can also be seen. The posterior half of the nucleus, within which central vision is represented, is made up mainly of six layers, and is the least variable part of the nucleus. Here the layers lie roughly parallel to each other. In the anterior half of the nucleus the laminar arrangement is more variable, and the layers often form complex and irregular interdigitations with each other. The 8\u2010layered segment varies greatly in size and may be absent. It generally lies at the edge of the 4\u2010layered segment not, as might have been expected, within the borders of the 6\u2010layered segment.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In many parts of the nucleus nerve cells are organized in short rows that run perpendicular to the layers; also, individual nerve cells are elongated in this direction. This neuronal orientation follows the lines of projection that are defined by the borders of a zone of retrograde degeneration, and also corresponds to the orientation of a cellular discontinuity that probably is the geniculate representation of the blind spot. Thus, we conclude that the neuronal orientation indicates the lines of projection within the nucleus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.901830202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T18:31:14Z","timestamp":1104604274000},"page":"221-246","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Variability of laminar patterns in the human lateral geniculate nucleus"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"183","author":[{"given":"T.
