Transient retino-inferior collicular fibres in neonatal rats: their persistence after removal of one eye at birth.
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.
