Abstract:
:Pouch young opossums aged from 5 to 34 days underwent unilateral eye enucleation and the projection from the remaining eye to the superior colliculus (SC) was explored at maturity by anatomical and physiological methods. The results were compared to data from normal or adult enucleated animals. Analysis of the experimental group showed that early enucleation resulted in an increased ipsilateral pathway which varied in terminal distribution with the timing of the lesion. When performed in the very young (first and second postnatal week) the uncrossed retinocollicular projection covered the entire area of the superficial layers of the superior colliculus but formed mediolateral bands of high and low label density at the rostral aspects of the SC. In the remainder of the early enucleated group the labeling also covered the entire area of the optic layers but the density of labeling was relatively homogeneous throughout the rostrocaudal extension of the SC. The distribution pattern of the uncrossed projection in adult enucleated opossums was similar to that described previously in normal animals. The electrophysiological results showed that, at all ages examined, early enucleation resulted in an orderly but expanded map in the SC restricted to the sector of the visual field seen by the temporal retina. The different anatomical patterns found in animals enucleated at these two early stages of development could not be distinguished by multiunit recordings.
