## Abstract An important issue to understand is how visual information can influence the motor system and affect behavior. Using the lamprey (__Petromyzon marinus__) as an experimental model we examined the morphological subtypes of retinal ganglion cells and their projection pattern to the tectum,

Laminar restriction of retinal macrophag

Laminar restriction of retinal macrophagic response to optic nerve axotomy in the rat

✍ Garcia-Valenzuela, E. ;Sharma, S. C. 📂 Article 📅 1999 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 528 KB

Following optic nerve transection, most of the retinal ganglion cells die. Their debris is promptly cleared by phagocytic cells. It is currently not known to what extent peripherally derived macrophages contribute to this activity. Using antibodies OX42 and ED-1, phagocytic cells were labeled in the

Topographic projection from the optic te

Topographic projection from the optic tectum to the auditory space map in the inferior colliculus of the barn owl

✍ Hyde, Peter S.; Knudsen, Eric I. 📂 Article 📅 2000 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 695 KB

In the barn owl (Tyto alba), the external nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICX) contains a map of auditory space that is calibrated by visual experience. The source of the visually based instructive signal to the ICX is unknown. Injections of biotinylated dextran amine and Fluoro-Gold in the ICX

Relative number of cells projecting from contralateral and ipsilateral nucleus isthmi to loci in the optic tectum is dependent on visuotopic location: Horseradish peroxidase study in the leopard frog

✍ Dudkin, Elizabeth A.; Gruberg, Edward R. 📂 Article 📅 1999 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 254 KB 👁 1 views

The leopard frog optic tectum is the principal target of the contralateral retina. The retinal terminals form a topographic map of the visual field. The tectum also receives bilateral topographic input from a midbrain structure called nucleus isthmi. In this study we determined the relative strength

Morphology, axonal projection pattern, and responses to optic nerve stimulation of thalamic neurons in the salamander Plethodon jordani

✍ Gerhard Roth; Wolfgang Grunwald 📂 Article 📅 2000 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 611 KB

In the salamander Plethodon jordani, the morphology and axonal projections of thalamic (TH) neurons and their responses to electrical optic nerve stimulation were determined by intracellular recording and biocytin labeling under in vitro, whole-brain conditions. Based on their axonal projections, la
