title: Morphological plasticity in the chick ventral lateral geniculate nucleus: temporal parameters.
abstract: The retinogeniculate projection in the chick undergoes apparent augmentation following lesions in the optic tectum. Using autoradiographic tracing techniques we determined that the alteration of the retinal projection required a minimum of 4 days to be detected if tectal lesions were made at hatching and could be produced by lesions placed up to 1.5 years posthatch.
