Schematic diagram of the primate LGN.<unk>  neurons not labeled, but are present between the layers. A<unk>  (konio: Greek, dust or poison, also known as K<unk>  is a neuron with a small<unk>  body that is located in the<unk>  layer of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in primates, including humans.<unk>  layers are located ventral to each parvocellular and magnocellular layer of the LGN. Even if the quantity of neurons is approximately equal to the number of magnocellular<unk> s the<unk>  layers are much thinner due to their size. In comparison to the parvocellular and magnocellular system, fewer studies have been conducted to investigate the<unk>  system.<unk> s are a heterogeneous population differing in many aspects, such as response properties and connectivity.
