Fig. 16, Experiment V-B. This figure shows the sections through the left 

 external geniculate body beginning with the most anterior (oral) section 

 (i), and the most posterior (caudal) section (IS). Left sides of the figures 

 are lateral, right sides are medial, close to the thalamus. Stippled portions 

 represent segments where nerve cells degenerated; black portions those with 

 normal cells. In agreement with two lesions of the striate area or of the 

 visual radiation (14, 15) (compare figs. 14, 15) two degenerated zones were 

 found: A small one in the inner segment of the external geniculate body 

 (marked with a double cross) and a large zone in the outer segment of the 

 body (marked with an asterisk).
