    Micro-injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were made into the visual cortex of the golden hamster. The "projection lines" of labelled neurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGNd) were three-dimensionally reconstructed, using a computer graphics technique. The lines run rostrally and medially from their origins at the lateral surface of the nucleus. Using an anatomically determined retinotopic map of the LGNd, the positions of all labelled cells near the lateral surface were converted into equivalent visual field co-ordinates and displayed on a physiologically determined retinotopic map of the primary visual cortex. Comparison between the scatter of these equivalent retinotopic loci and an actual reconstruction of the injection site revealed that: 1. there was general agreement between the independent retinotopic maps of LGNd and visual cortex; 2. there was greater retinotopic scatter of labelled LGNd cells than could be accounted for by the area of tissue injury in the cortex; 3. the retinotopic scatter matched more closely the total visible halo of HRP staining in the grey matter; 4. HRP can be taken up from a cytoarchitectonic field into which it diffuses after injection into a neighbouring area; 5. HRP is probably not taken up by undamaged axons in the white matter. These results are compared with those obtained in other animals and other systems. No general rules emerge, but the possibility of uptake from wide areas of diffusion must be considered when interpreting results of HRP injection.
