Morphometric analysis of ventral mesencephalic neurons retrogradely labeled with Fluoro-Gold following injections in the shell, core and rostral pole of the rat nucleus accumbens.

abstract：:Bilateral removal of the cortical visual area in newborn cats produces degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. Measurements of over 4,000 cells and calculation of neuron densities from sample areas of retina in the adult show that the medium sized cell population in peripheral retina is reduced by 68%, whereas the pop...
