Demonstration of lack of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus input to extrastriate areas MT and Visual 2 in the macaque monkey

Injections of wheat germ conjugated and normal horseradish peroxidase in the identifiable extrastriate cortical areas MT and Visual 2 of the macaque monkey, indicate that these areas do not receive an input from the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus as do other regions of extrastriate visual cortex.
