Biochemical changes in the visual cortices of the mice after optic nerve ligation.
The visual cortices were analysed by biochemical means after optic nerve ligation. Increase in RNA and dopamine uptake were evident as early as 1 week postoperatively in both cortices, contralateral and ipsilateral, to the side of the lesion.
