Abstract
A topographic selectivity characterizes the adhesion of neural retina cells to optic tecta. Cell bodies from dorsal half-retina have been shown to adhere preferentially to ventral surfaces of optic tecta, while those from ventral half-retina prefer dorsal surfaces of tecta (Barbera et al., 1973; Marchase et al., 1975). Subsequent demonstrations of intraretinal differences in specificity (Gottlieb et al., 1976) have shown a pronounced gradient in adhesive preferences along the dorso-ventral axis of the developing retina.
