Residual tectal projection from the contralateral central retina of the frog after homolateral optic nerve and main optic tract section. A possible input from the axial optic tract

F Gaillard. Exp Brain Res. 1981.

Abstract

After homolateral (right) optic nerve and main optic tract section a residual visual activity originating from the contralateral (left) central retina was recorded in the right optic tectum. Units were classified in three groups according to their receptive field properties: (1) slow-adapting units analogous to class 3 retinal ganglion cells; (2) fast-adapting postsynaptic units; (3) visual neurons. All of these units have in common a receptive field located near the projection of the left eye optic axis. Evidence that these units belong to the same visual pathway (i.e., the axial optic tract) is discussed.
