The retinal projection to the superior colliculus of the cat was examined at four gestational ages, embryonic days 38, 46, 56, and 61, using the antegrade transport of horseradish peroxidase and tritiated leucine. Gestation in the cat averages 65 days. By the 38th day of gestation (E38), the anlage of the entire superior colliculus, both ipsilateral and contralateral to an injection, was labele...
