Miura Clinic, Sendai City, Japan.

To establish the terminal sites of the optic nerve fibers in the albino mouse, the immunohistochemical method using cholera toxin, subunit B (CTB), as well as three kinds of selective silver impregnation methods for degenerating nerve fibers were used. Termination was confirmed in the following nuclei: bilateral dorsal nuclei of the lateral geniculate body (LGB), ventral nuclei of LGB, preoptic areas, posterolateral nuclei, superior colliculi, suprachiasmatic nuclei, medial terminal nuclei of the accessory optic tract (AOT), and dorsal terminal nuclei of AOT. The percentage of the optic nerve fibers crossing at the optic chiasm was estimated at 90 to 95. Fibers from the unilateral retina were observed to terminate more in the contralateral nucleus. With regard to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, however, the terminations were observed to be distributed evenly and bilaterally.

D009412 Nerve Fibers Slender processes of NEURONS, including the AXONS and their glial envelopes (MYELIN SHEATH). Nerve fibers conduct nerve impulses to and from the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Cerebellar Mossy Fibers,Mossy Fibers, Cerebellar,Cerebellar Mossy Fiber,Mossy Fiber, Cerebellar,Nerve Fiber
D009900 Optic Nerve The 2nd cranial nerve which conveys visual information from the RETINA to the brain. The nerve carries the axons of the RETINAL GANGLION CELLS which sort at the OPTIC CHIASM and continue via the OPTIC TRACTS to the brain. The largest projection is to the lateral geniculate nuclei; other targets include the SUPERIOR COLLICULI and the SUPRACHIASMATIC NUCLEI. Though known as the second cranial nerve, it is considered part of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D010784 Photomicrography Photography of objects viewed under a microscope using ordinary photographic methods. Photomicrographies
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D002772 Cholera Toxin An ENTEROTOXIN from VIBRIO CHOLERAE. It consists of two major protomers, the heavy (H) or A subunit and the B protomer which consists of 5 light (L) or B subunits. The catalytic A subunit is proteolytically cleaved into fragments A1 and A2. The A1 fragment is a MONO(ADP-RIBOSE) TRANSFERASE. The B protomer binds cholera toxin to intestinal epithelial cells and facilitates the uptake of the A1 fragment. The A1 catalyzed transfer of ADP-RIBOSE to the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G PROTEINS activates the production of CYCLIC AMP. Increased levels of cyclic AMP are thought to modulate release of fluid and electrolytes from intestinal crypt cells.
