A note on the reciprocal connections between the retina and the brain in the puffer fish Tetraodon fluviatilis

This investigation employed the horseradish peroxidase methodology to trace afferent and efferent connections of the retina in the puffer fish Tetraodon fluviatilis. The retinal projections to the CNS are within the range described in other teleost fishes. In addition to this observation, 4 structur...

Zusammenfassung:	This investigation employed the horseradish peroxidase methodology to trace afferent and efferent connections of the retina in the puffer fish Tetraodon fluviatilis. The retinal projections to the CNS are within the range described in other teleost fishes. In addition to this observation, 4 structures were identified in the CNS which project to the retina. These are the optic tectum, the dorsomedial optic nucleus, the pretectal nucleus and the large and well differentiated corpus geniculatum laterale ipsum of Meader.
