Postnatal neurogenesis in the kitten retina was studied using 3H-thymidine radioautography. Kittens were injected with 3H-thymidine at 1 day, 10 days, 3 weeks or 4 weeks after birth and allowed to survive until 14 weeks of age. Labeled neuronal nuclei were not found in the ganglion cell layer in any of the retinas, but they were seen in the other nuclear layers of the same retinas. In retinas f...
