Abstract

To study the contribution of retinal and cortical afferents to the patterns of glutamate- and homocysteate-like immunoreactivities in dorsal lateral geniculate, combined retinal and cortical ablations were performed in rats. In controls, glutamate immunoreactivity was in terminal-like dots and neurons. Homocysteate immunoreactivity was in small puncta. In lesioned animals, most glutamate-immunoreactive dots disappeared. In contrast, abundant puncta resembling parts of glial cells were immunoreactive for homocysteate.
