Developmental determinants at the mammalian optic chiasm.
The mammalian optic chiasm is widely and properly regarded as a region where axons from the temporal retina take an uncrossed course and separate from axons arising in the nasal retina that take a crossed course. However, this is but a rough approximation of the adult situation, and developmental studies must take account of several distinctive stages and axon rearrangements that characterize t...
متن کاملSpecific Routing of Retinal Ganglion Cell Axons at Optic Chiasm During Embryonic Development the Mammalian
During development of the mammalian CNS, axons encounter multiple pathway choices on their way to central target structures. A major pathway branch point in the visual system occurs at the optic chiasm, where retinal ganglion cell axons may either enter the ipsilateral or the contralateral optic tract. To investigate whether embryonic mouse retinal ganglion cell axons, upon reaching the optic c...
متن کاملGlioblastoma of the optic chiasm.
Primary malignant gliomas of the optic nerve and chiasm are rare, and are usually rapidly fatal in adults. We report a 48-year-old woman with a glioblastoma multiforme arising from the optic chiasm. Following radiotherapy, our patient survived nearly 14 months, which is the longest survival reported in patients with this diagnosis. There have only been four other reports of glioblastoma multifo...
متن کاملcAMP Promotes Retinal Midline Crossing at the Zebrafish Optic Chiasm
During development, axons navigate a complex intracellular milieu, often over long distances to reach target tissues at stereotyped locations. The basis for this navigation lies in the growth cone a motile structure at the tip of the growing axon. Studded with receptors for an array of guidance cues, the growth cone interprets a balance of attractive and repellant signals en route to its target...
متن کاملMRI of optic chiasm and optic pathways.
Eight verified lesions of the optic chiasm were examined on 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) and GE 9800, 8800 computed tomographic (CT) scanners. Enlargement of the optic chiasm was demonstrated in all cases. There was some change of MR signal compared with brain in all but one case, which had no resemblance to contrast enhancement on CT scans. The signal was specific for hematoma in one case. Ab...
