The distribution of ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting ganglion cells in the retina of the pigmented rabbit

Experimental Brain Research
J M Provis, C R Watson

Abstract

The retinal distribution of ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting ganglion cells has been determined in the rabbit using both degeneration and horseradish peroxidase tracing techniques. Contralaterally projecting ganglion cells are present throughout the retinas, while ipsilaterally projecting ganglion cells are confined to a 3.0-3.5 mm wide strip adjacent to the temporal retinal margin. Thus, in this temporal strip both ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting cells intermingle, while at more nasal locations all ganglion cells project contralaterally. Each of the contra- and ipsilaterally projecting populations comprises ganglion cells with soma diameters representing the full range present in the rabbit retina. However, a relatively large proportion of the ipsilaterally projecting ganglion cells have large somata (greater than or equal to 20 micrometer). Large ganglion cells are most numerous in the rabbit's temporal retina and have previously been described as reaching their peak density at the large cell node, just above the temporal end of the visual streak (Provis 1979). The large cell node lies immediately temporal to the nasal border of the strip of retina in which ipsilaterally projecting cells are located. ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
