The retinal axon's pathfinding to the optic disk.
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons travel in radial routes unerringly toward the optic disk, their first intermediate target in the center of the eye. The path of the RGC growth cone is restricted to a narrow zone subjacent to the endfeet of Müller glial cells and the vitreal basal lamina. The present survey indicates that RGC growth cones are guided by many molecular cues along their pathway wh...
متن کاملNeurolin, the goldfish homolog of DM-GRASP, is involved in retinal axon pathfinding to the optic disk.
Young axons of new retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the continuously growing goldfish retina fasciculate with one another and their immediate forerunners on their path toward the optic disk and along the optic nerve. They express the immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) neurolin (DM-GRASP) and the L1-like E587 antigen. Repeated injections of Fab fragments from polyclonal an...
متن کاملRetinal Images: Optic Disk Localization and Detection
Automated localization and detection of the optic disc (OD) is an essential step in the analysis of digital diabetic retinopathy systems. Accurate localization and detection of optic disc boundary is very useful in proliferative diabetic retinopathy where fragile vessels develop in the retina. In this paper, we propose an automated system for optic disk localization and detection. Our method lo...
متن کاملPathfinding and Error Correction by Retinal Axons The Role of astray/robo2
To address how the highly stereotyped retinotectal pathway develops in zebrafish, we used fixed-tissue and time-lapse imaging to analyze morphology and behavior of wild-type and mutant retinal growth cones. Wild-type growth cones increase in complexity and pause at the midline. Intriguingly, they make occasional ipsilateral projections and other pathfinding errors, which are always eventually c...
متن کاملCrossed and uncrossed retinal axons respond differently to cells of the optic chiasm midline in vitro
In mouse, retinal axon divergence takes place within a cellular specialization localized at the midline of the optic chiasm. To test whether the cells in this locus present cues for differential retinal axon growth, retinal explants were cocultured with cells dissociated from the chiasmatic midline, both taken from day 14-15 embryos, during the principal period of retinal axon divergence. Compa...
