The possibility of centrifugal projections to the retina in the rat.
In rats, glutamic acid decarboxylase activity increased in the proximal portion of the optic nerve after its ligation, whereas the activities of choline acetyltransferase and tyrosine hydroxylase remained constant. Possible centrifugal neurons to the retina are GABAergic.
