title: Transient retinal fibers to the inferior colliculus in the newborn albino rat.
abstract: Transient retinal fibers to the inferior colliculus were found in newborn albino rats. After horseradish peroxidase injection into the vitreous cavity of rats of 1-3 days of age, anterogradely-labeled retinal fibers were traced through the superior colliculus to the inferior colliculus. These retinal fibers to the inferior colliculus were not seen in rats older than 7 days of age.
