TL;DR

Extrageniculate neurons sending fibers to the visual cortex were found in the lateral and inferior pulvinar nuclei, paracentral thalamic nucleus, claustrum, basal nucleus of Meynert, lateral part of the basal amygdaloid nucleus, lateral hypothalamus, locus coeruleus, and dorsomedial and midline regions of the pontine tegmentum.

Abstract

Extrageniculate projections to the visual cortex were examined in the macaque monkeys by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) method. Extrageniculate neurons sending fibers to the visual cortex were found in the lateral and inferior pulvinar nuclei, paracentral thalamic nucleus, claustrum, basal nucleus of Meynert, lateral part of the basal amygdaloid nucleus, lateral hypothalamus, locus coeruleus, and dorsomedial and midline regions of the pontine tegmentum.
