The Nerve-Fiber Layer of the Primate Retina: An Autoradiographic Study

THOMAS E. OGDEN 1

1 Departments of Neurology and Physiology, University of Utah College of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112

The intraretinal path taken by fibers of the arcuate bundle was studied in four Rhesus monkeys. The fibers incorporated radioactivity subsequent to the injection of a small amount of 3H-proline into the retina. The classical arciform projection was described and it was noted that near the disc, where the nerve-fiber layer contained many unlabeled fibers from the region of the area centralis, the label was uniformly distributed across the thickness of the layer. It is concluded that a vertical topographic organization is lacking in the nerve-fiber layer, i.e., the vertical position of a fiber within this layer, near the disc, bears no relation to the distance of its cell of origin from the disc.

Key Words: primate • retina • nerve-fiber layer • autoradiography • anatomy
