Editing Lateral geniculate nucleus (section)

===vLGN===

The ventrolateral geniculate nucleus has been found to be relatively large in several species such as lizards, rodents, cows, cats, and primates.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Cooper|first=H.M.|author2=M.

The external and internal divisions are separated by a group of fine fibers and a zone of thinly dispersed neurons. Additionally, several studies have suggested further subdivisions of the vLGN in other species.<ref name="Harrington 1997 705–727">{{cite journal|last=Harrington|first=Mary|title=The ventral lateral geniculate nucleus and the intergeniculate leaflet: interrelated structures in the visual and circadian systems|journal=Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews|date=1997|volume=21|issue=5|pages=705–727|doi=10.1016/s0149-7634(96)00019-x|pmid=9353800|s2cid=20139828}}</ref> For example, studies indicate that the cytoarchitecture of the vLGN in the cat differs from rodents. Although five subdivisions of the vLGN in the cat have been identified by some,<ref>{{cite journal|last=Jordan|first=J.|author2=H.
