Abstract
The uncrossed optic projection to the medial terminal nucleus of the accessory optic system was studied in adult rats with hereditary unilateral microphthalmia. The vestigial eye of the mutant completely lacks the optic nerve. After injection of HRP into the remaining eye the ipsilateral labeled fibers of the accessory optic system via the superior fasciculus distinctly covered the three terminal nuclei. No ipsilateral inferior fasciculus of the accessory optic system was labeled. Aberrant expansion of the uncrossed superior fasciculus fibers was observed in the medial terminal nucleus.
