Lateral geniculate nucleus has six separate cell layers, four parvocellular layers at top with small cells and two magnocellular layers at bottom with large cells. Between layers are cone-shaped cells {koniocellular neuron} that code for blue-yellow opponency, the difference between S cones and L+M cones [Calkins, 2000] [Chatterjee and Callaway, 2002] [Dacey, 1996] [Nathans, 1999].
