Early eye removal produces excessive bilateral branching in the rat: application of cobalt filling method

T J Cunningham. Science. .

Abstract

When one eye of a rat is removed at birth, axons from the remaining eye form an excess of branches which are directed to both sides of the brain. This finding, which is based on a novel application of cobalt tracing methods, provides an explanation for previous reports of expanded uncrossed projections after early eye removal.
