Abstract:
Golgi and Golgi-Cox methods were used to stain the neurones in the II, III layers of 17, 18 areas, lateral suprasylvian area (LS area) of visual cortex and of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd). 298 cells in the II, III layers of 17, 18 areas, 310 cells in the II, III layers of LS area and 168 cells in LGNd were plotted with microscope and camera lucida. Bias was introduced to analyze the properties of dendritic fields of these cells quantitatively. Our results indicated that most of the cells in three areas had elongated and oriented dendritic fields. The proportion of the cells with dendritic fields parallel to the surface of 17, 18 areas was significantly higherthan that of LS area. In LGNd the orientation of dendritic fields of most adjacent cells was similar and the biases of class 3 cells were significantly higher than that of class 1.
