    A computerized analysis of the entire retinal ganglion cell population and its spatial distribution in adult rats
    (Elsevier, 2009-01) Mayor Torroglosa, S.; Jiménez López, M.; Avilés Trigueros, Marcelino; Holmes, T. M.; Lund, R. D.; Villegas Pérez, M. P.; Vidal Sanz, M.; Salinas Navarro, Manuel Ángel; Anatomía Humana y Psicobiología
    In adult albino (SD) and pigmented (PVG) rats the entire population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) was quantified and their spatial distribution analyzed using a computerized technique. RGCs were back-labelled from the optic nerves (ON) or the superior colliculi (SCi) with Fluorogold (FG). Numbers of RGCs labelled from the ON [SD: 82,818 ± 3,949, n = 27; PVG: 89,241 ± 3,576, n = 6) were comparable to those labelled from the SCi [SD: 81,486 ± 4,340, n = 37; PVG: 87,229 ± 3,199; n = 59]. Detailed methodology to provide cell density information at small scales demonstrated the presence of a horizontal region in the dorsal retina with highest densities, resembling a visual streak.

    Distribution of cortico-visual neurons projecting to the pons in the cat. A retrograde labelling study with rhodamine latex microspheres
    (Murcia : F. Hernández, 1993) Pérez-Samartín, A.L.; Doñate-Oliver, F.
    Injections of the low diffusion retrograde tracer rhodamine latex microspheres were made in the pontine grey matter of the cat in order to study the cortical convergence to the pons. We found a different distribution of cells in the convex surface of the brain hemisphere making ventral os dorsolateral injections. In the first case, cells were grouped in the top of the gyri. In the second case, cells were more frequent in the bottom of the sulci. Our results show a possible retinotopic organization of this projection.
