Distribution of photoreceptor subtypes in the retina of diurnal and nocturnal primates

KC Wikler, P Rakic - Journal of Neuroscience, 1990 - Soc Neuroscience
We have used antibodies specific to either the red/green-or blue- sensitive cones in order to
compare their ratio and distributions to that of the rods in the retinae of 3 primate species …

Development of ganglion cell topography in ferret retina

Z Henderson, BL Finlay, KC Wikler - Journal of Neuroscience, 1988 - Soc Neuroscience
