Dil was injected into the left retina, and RGC axons were traced to the optic chiasm. In the wild-type animal, a subset of RGC axons is repelled at the midline and to the binocular pathway (top ...
These RGC axons then navigate toward the midline of the brain at the optic chiasm, where some axons cross the midline and some do not. The proper migration of RGC axons thus contains three ...
This symptom is often associated with tumors located in or around the pituitary gland, which can compress the optic chiasm, leading to bitemporal hemianopsia (loss of vision in the outer half of ...
