Abstract
Postnatal development of autonomic nerves in the mouse iris was studied histochemically from one day to five months of age. For the demonstration of aminergic nerves the glyoxylic acid method was used, while for cholinergic nerves, Karnovsky and Roots' method was utilized on the whole-mount preparations of irises. The results obtained were as follows. In one-day-old mice, many aminergic nerves could already be seen, while cholinergic nerves were scarcely observable. Both types of nerve increased rapidly in the first 2 weeks. Both completed development between 3 and 4 weeks, although aminergic nerves were observed to develop earlier than the cholinergic.
