Anterograde axonal transport of RGCs to central projection areas. A, Schematic diagram showing the ipsilateral and contralateral projections of optic nerve axons to the dorsal part of the lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). B, C, Coronal sections of the dLGN from wt (B) and rd10 (C) mutant mice aged 9 months, after injections of cholera toxin conjugated to different fluorophores in the two eyes. Each pair of images shows complementary red/green fields, comprising a large projection from the contralateral eye and a small field, receiving the ipsilateral projection. ipsi, Ipsilateral; contra, contralateral; DX, right side; SX, left side.
