title: Transient retino-inferior collicular fibres in neonatal rats: their persistence after removal of one eye at birth.
abstract: Retinal projections to the inferior colliculus in the newborn albino rat were demonstrated by intraocular injection with horseradish peroxidase. During normal development, these retino-inferior collicular fibres disappeared by 26 days of age. However, after removal of one eye at birth, distinct retino-inferior collicular fibres arising from the remaining eye were preserved contralaterally in rats at 26 days of age.
