Selective atrophy in the lateral geniculate nucleus associated with iris coloboma in cat.

A kitten with a unilateral, congenital coloboma of the iris was raised in a normal environment and sacrificed at 6 monthlicted eye was seen in Nissl-stained sections taken through the lateral geniculate. The result suggests that image degradation is more important than luminance reduction in causing selective changes in the visual pathway.
