Mammalian optic nerve axons are organised within a fascicular framework. This pattern changes between the eye and the chiasm. For most of the length of the nerve fascicular patterns are apparent, but close to the chiasm, in a region of major fibre rearrangement, the fascicular configuration is lost. It is not known how this change occurs, or whether there are less obvious systematic changes in the number of fascicles or their geometry along the length of the nerve. In this study these questions have been addressed at successive locations along the length of the cat optic nerve. The number of fascicles varied depending upon the location examined. A relatively high number were found behind the eye. The number declined in the mid-orbital portion before increasing again in the region of the optic canal. Further caudally there was a progressive change in the pattern of fasciculation, with a loss of fascicular structure medially. The remaining fascicles became concentrated around the inferotemporal periphery of the nerve. There was no fascicular organisation at the point at which the two nerves fused at the chiasm. Although the number of fascicles varied along the length of the nerve their geometric pattern did not change.
