Abstract

The ipsilateral retinotectal projection of the newborn rat is more prominent than that of the adult, and overlaps with the projection of the contralateral eye. Under normal developmental conditions the ipsilateral projection increases in density from the day of birth until the sixth postnatal day, then gradually retracts until the fiber density and distribution characteristic of the adult is established between 10 and 15 days of age.
