Retinal afferents on Golgi-identified vertical neurons in the superior colliculus of the rabbit. A Golgi-EM, degenerative and autoradiographic study.

Abstract:

:The characteristics and distribution pattern of retinal afferent terminals making synaptic contacts on narrow field vertical neurons in the stratum griseum superficiale of the rabbit superior colliculus were studied using the Golgi-gold substitution technique in combination with either autoradiographic or degenerative methods. At the level of light microscopy, identified gold-toned vertical neurons showed similar features to those previously described by others. Although their axons were frequently seen rising from the basal dendritic tuft, they could also emerge from an apical dendrite, but rarely from the cell body. The electron microscopic study revealed that these neurons received radiolabelled or degenerated profiles with typical features of retinal terminals, while more proximal parts seemed to receive fewer terminals but of larger size. Axo-somatic synaptic junctions were very rare and, interestingly, retinal terminals were not seen forming synapses on the basal dendritic arborization. The present results indicate that the narrow field vertical cells are targets for retinotectal projection.
