  • The distribution of ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting ganglion cells in the retina of the pigmented rabbit. Abstract Text:

    The retinal distribution of ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting ganglion cells has been determined in the rabbit using both degeneration and horseradish peroxidase tracing techniques. Contralaterally projecting ganglion cells are present throughout the retinas, while ipsilaterally projecting ganglion cells are confined to a 3.0-3.5 mm wide strip adjacent to the temporal retinal margin. Thus, in this temporal strip both ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting cells intermingle, while at more nasal locations all ganglion cells project contralaterally. Each of the contra- and ipsilaterally projecting populations comprises ganglion cells with soma diameters representing the full range present in the rabbit retina. However, a relatively large proportion of the ipsilaterally projecting ganglion cells have large somata (greater than or equal to 20 micrometer). Large ganglion cells are most numerous in the rabbit's temporal retina and have previously been described as reaching their peak density at the large cell node, just above the temporal end of the visual streak (Provis 1979). The large cell node lies immediately temporal to the nasal border of the strip of retina in which ipsilaterally projecting cells are located. It is possible that this specialization in the region of retina which observes the binocular visual field plays a particular role in binocular vision for the rabbit.
