Disruption of the olfactoretinal centrifugal pathway may relate to the visual system defect in night blindness b mutant zebrafish.

Abstract excerpt

We describe here a dominant mutation, night blindness b (nbb), which causes an age-related visual system defect in zebrafish. At 4-5 months of age, dark-adapted nbb(+/-) mutants show abnormal visual threshold fluctuations when measured behaviorally. Light sensitizes the animals; thus early dark adaptation of nbb(+/-) fish is normal. After 2 hr of dark adaptation, however, visual thresholds of nbb(+/-) mutants are...
