[Centrifugal fibers in the human retina].
The examination of 16 human retina stained in toto according to the Gallego method (1953) demonstrated the presence of centrifugal optic fibers. These fibers appear as large argyrophilic axons and can be traced as of the papille, amongst the centripetal optic fibers. The centrifugal fibers show a high degree of ramification which may extend over a quarter of the total retinal surface and terminate in the internal plexiform layer. Elsewhere the existence of perivascular and intravascular axon terminals as well as short axon ganglion nerve cells were demonstrated.
