  • Title: Ipsilateral retinopetal projection of the nucleus olfactoretinalis (NOR) during development and regeneration: a DiI study in a cichlid fish.
    Author: Wilm C, Fritzsch B.
    Journal: J Neurobiol; 1993 Jan; 24(1):70-9. PubMed ID: 8419524.
    Abstract:
    The development and regeneration of the ipsilateral retinopetal projection of the nucleus olfactoretinalis (NOR) in the cichlid fish Haplochromis burtoni was studied with 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl indocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) in fixed tissue. Throughout development most NOR cells projected to the contralateral retina. Only an insignificant, transient elevation of a projection to the ipsilateral retina was found in a few animals; however, after severing the contralateral processes of NOR cells by either enucleation or nerve crush, many animals had significantly more NOR cells with a regenerated process to the ipsilateral retina. Nevertheless, within a few weeks of surgery, the number of animals with ipsilaterally projecting cells were reduced to control values. The transiently enhanced ipsilateral projections to the retina imply changes in the guiding mechanism after these operations and the existence of control mechanisms against unusual connections to the retina in this bony fish.
