Optic tract cells projecting to the retina in the teleost, Pantodon buchholzi.
Horseradish peroxidase was employed to trace retino-fugal and retino-petal connections in the teleost fish, Pantodon buchholzi. Most of the reciprocal connections found were within the range also observed in previously studied species of teleosts. Of particular interest is the discovery of cells located within the optic tract and projecting to the retina. These neurons were investigated electron microscopically.
