Development of the Optic Tectum in Brown Trout

  • Chapter
Vision in Fishes

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 1))

Abstract

The complexity of cellular characteristics and their interrelationships in the teleostean optic tectum is quite apparent from Dr. Venegas’review (this volume). In order to accomplish the early events of neurogenesis, certain morphological and cellular changes occur in the presumptive optic tectum and these changes probably cause the transformation of the “matrix zone” (proliferative ventricular cells) into post-mitotic neurons.

For here comes the trout that must be caught with tickling.

Twelfth Night, Act II, Sc. 5
