The directed growth of retinal axons towards surgically transposed tecta in Xenopus; an examination of homing behaviour by retinal ganglion cell axons.
The growth of optic axons towards experimentally rotated tecta has been studied. In stage 24/25 embryos, a piece of the dorsal neural tube, containing the dorsal midbrain rudiment, was rotated through 180 degrees. At later stages of development, the pathways of growing optic axons were investigated...
