This study investigated the retinal projections of the adult Formosan rock monkey by monocular injection of radioactive proline and fucose. We found that the retinofugal fibers terminated bilaterally in the suprachiasmatic, pregeniculate, lateral geniculate, pretectal complex, pulvinar nucleus, superior colliculus, dorsal and lateral terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system. More crossed retinal terminations were observed, with the exception that the suprachiasmatic nucleus received almost equally of both retinal projections. The existence of the retinal projection to the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory nucleus was in doubt. In the geniculate nucleus, the retinal fibers terminated contralaterally in layers 1, 4 and 6; and ipsilaterally in 2, 3 and 5. In the superior colliculus, most retinal fibers were aggregated superficially in a band located in the contralateral striatum griseum superficialis of the superior colliculus, and had few gaps on the ipsilateral one. The present investigation shows that the Formosan rock monkey has a similar pattern of optic fiber distribution to that of other macaques.
