Abstract
We have demonstrated that a significant fraction of cells in layer 1 of goldfish optic tectum are immunoreactive for choline acetyltransferase. These cells constitute 4–7% of type XIV cells, which are thought to be intrinsic neurons and represent 95% of all tectal cells. The number of immunoreactive type XIV cells is unchanged following short-term enucleation. The possible integrative role of these putative cholinergic neurons is discussed in relation to sensory functions of the optic tectum.
