Visual perception in humans and other primates depends on the retino-thalamo-cortical pathway. This pathway begins with retinal ganglion cells, which have axonal terminations in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Each ganglion cell axon provides input to one or more LGN relay neurones and, in turn, nearly all the LGN relay neurones project to the primary visual cortex. Thus, this pathway forms the dominant functional input to cortical mechanisms for colour vision, as well as for other aspects of conscious visual perception. In this review, recent progress in understanding the transmission of signals for colour vision through the LGN is summarised, with emphasis on studies which provide links between function and structure.
