[Commissural mechanisms of restoring visual functions].
The perimetric studies were carried out in adult cats with reduced classical and commissural visual pathways. The data obtained indicate substantial recovery of the temporal visual fields in cats with unilateral optic tract transection during one year after operation. The animals with combined optic tract and cerebral commissural transection did not demonstrate any remarkable restitution of visual fields. These findings allow the conclusion about the primary role of cerebral commissures in the compensatory mechanisms of visual functions after visual tract injury.
