The effect of kainic acid on the developing chick retina.
Kainic acid (KA) was given in ovo to 6-day-old chick embryos. Examination of the retina after treatment indicated an immediate damage of cell in the ganglion layer. One week later, numerous cells died in the middle inner portion of the nuclear layer, apparently by the lack of an adequate number of targets in the ganglion cell layer.
