摘要

The rabbit eye has 397,000 retinal ganglion cells compared with the cat that has 193,000. Despite this, pattern acuity in the rabbit is inferior, 4Hz compared to 6Hz in the cat. This is probably due to the smaller proportion of uncrossed fibres in the rabbit, which has only 39,700 uncrossed fibres to the cat's 77,200. The most conspicuous feature of the rabbit retina is the visual streak which extends along the horizontal azimuth from the nasal margin to the temporal limit of the retina, where there is an upward expansion. We believe the parallel portion of the streak processes movement detection; and that the temporal anakatabatic area (area centralis) is responsible for pattern perception. Both anatomical and behavioural experiments were used to test this possibility. The visual capacity of both normal and chiasma rabbits were compared for differential sensitivity to either pattern or movement vision. The injection of HRP into the vitreal chamber of one eye of normal rabbits revealed extensive uptake throughout the contralateral thalamus. In the ipsilateral thalamus there was uptake solely from the ipsilateral retinal projection to a restricted wafer of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). The same area on the contralateral side showed no HRP uptake. The chiasma cut rabbits showed a very different distribution of HRP in the thalamus. The uptake was restricted a thin wafer of the LGN, with no contralateral uptake. Thus the thalamic projections from the retinal area centralis were strictly segregated from the thalamic target areas for the visual streak without any overlap. Comparing the visual capacity of the normal and chiasma sectioned rabbits revealed both to have the same visual acuity Using OKN as a measure of movement detection, normal rabbits showed both a directional and velocity tuned response. The chiasma sectioned rabbits, with only uncrossed fibre projections remaining, showed a total loss of OKN, additionally the visual component of the VOR was also absent. Chiasma sectioned rabbits also showed a complete loss of conditioned NM responses. These findings provide strong evidence for anatomically separate pathways for pattern and movement vision in the rabbit. In addition the movement pathways are necessary for occulomotor control of such reflexes as OKN, VOR and NM anticipatory responses.
