Abstract

After a localized injection of horseradish peroxidase into the superior colliculus of the rabbit almost all of the ganglion cells in the monocular portion of the contralateral retina were retrogradely labelled with the enzyme. Of the few ganglion cells which were not labelled, most had large cell bodies.
