Abstract:
:A substantial projection from the retina to the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) has been demonstrated in the Chilean degus, a diurnal/crepuscular hystricomorph rodent. Following intraocular injection of cholera toxin subunit B (CTB), immunocytochemically labeled CTB-positive axons and terminals were observed in all major retinorecipient nuclei as well as in the DRN and periaqueductal gray (PAG) of the mesencephalon. Two streams of optic axons to the DRN were observed: one descending from the optic tract at the level of the pretectum and anterior superior colliculus, the other emerging as a small fascicle at the anterior pole of the inferior colliculus and descending bilaterally through the PAG. Contralateral retinal afferents in the DRN appeared to terminate primarily in the dorsomedial and lateral subdivisions of the DRN, and a less extensive ipsilateral component also was observed. Axonal arborizations were characterized by short branches and multiple varicosities, both in the DRN and in the PAG. The extent and density of DRN retinal afferents were not as extensive as previously observed in Mongolian gerbils using identical techniques, but the retinal-DRN projection is considerably larger in degus than in rats. The functional significance of the retinal-DRN pathway remains to be determined, although a variety of evidence indicates that light may directly affect the activity of neurons and serotonin levels in the DRN.
