Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Intraocular injections of rhodamine and horseradish peroxidase in chameleon, labelled retrogradely neurons in the ventromedial tegmental region of the mesencephalon and the ventrolateral thalamus of the diencephalon. In both areas, staining was observed contralaterally to the injected eye. Labelling was occasionally observed in some rhombencephalic motor nuclei. These results indicate that chameleons, unlike other reptilian species, have two retinopetal nuclei.
