  • Title: The size of the zone of origin of callosal afferents projecting to the primary visual cortex contralateral to the remaining eye in rats monocularly enucleated at different postnatal ages.

    Journal: Anat Embryol (Berl); 1986; 174(1):91-6. PubMed ID: 3706777.
    Abstract:
    The cortical zone from which callosal afferents projecting to the primary visual cortex (area Oc1) originate was studied in monocularly enucleated and normal rats. The extent of this cortical strip was determined by retrograde labeling with HRP and by measurement of its width in coronal sections. Albino rats were monocularly enucleated from the 23rd ontogenetic day to the 120th and iontophoretical injections into Oc1 contralateral to the remaining eye were done more than one year after enucleation. The width of the labeled strip of perikarya in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the remaining eye was largest in neonatally enucleated rats (about 1.1 mm) and declined with increasing age at which enucleation was performed. Additionally, the perikarya of callosal afferents in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the remaining eye in rats enucleated as young adults (90th and 120th ontogenetic day) were labeled in significantly wider strips (about 0.6 mm) than in unoperated control rats (about 0.4 mm).
