...B. Bagnoli; W. Francesconi; F. Magni The influence of the visual wulst on the optic tectum of Columba livia were studied. Analysis of the surface field potential evoked by optic nerve stimulation showed that it is composed of two presynaptic waves (pr 1 and pr 2 ), a negative monosynaptic wave (N...

...Quentin S. Fischer; Michael A. Kirby The number of retinal ganglion cells in Papio anubis was determined from light microscopic observations of wholemounted and vertically sectioned retinal tissue and electron microscopic examination of optic nerve cross sections. The total number of ganglion cells...

...Robert Huber; M.Kent Rylander Quantitative analysis of the optic nerve of minnows using light- and electron microscopy demonstrated that anatomical characteristics of the visual system are closely related to habitat turbidity. Species in the genera Notropis and Cyprinella inhabiting predominantly...

...David J. Coughlin; Craig W. Hawryshyn Color vision in rainbow trout was studied by characterizing the spectral sensitivity of single units in three areas of visual processing: optic nerve; optic tectum; and torus semicircularis. Sensitivity to medium wavelength stimuli was a common feature of all...

...S.A. Dunlop; W.M. Ross; L.D. Beazley We examined the retina and optic nerve of one of the smallest mammals, the honey possum (Tarsipes rostratus), a marsupial. Ganglion and displaced amacrine cells were distinguished by morphological criteria in retinal wholemounts stained with cresyl violet...

Retrograde labelling from the optic nerve with DiI shows that approximately 14% of the cells...
