## Abstract The generation of nerve cells for the cat's dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus takes place between embryonic day (E) 22 and E32. Neurons generated before E28 exhibit a full range of soma sizes and morphological features, whereas neurons generated after E28 have only smaller somata and a
Previous electron microscopic studies of synaptic terminal distributions in the lateral geniculate nucleus have been flawed by potential sampling biases favoring larger synapses. We have thus re-investigated this in the geniculate A-laminae of the cat with an algorithm to correct this sampling bias.
## Abstract We previously established (Datskovskaia et al. [2001] J Comp Neurol 430:85โ100) that roughly 40% of Y retinal terminals contact interneurons in the A lamina of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the cat. However, we did not establish whether the dendritic terminals of inter
