Transient retinal fibers to the inferior colliculus in the newborn albino rat.
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.
