Phenotypic characterisation of respecified visual cortex subsequent to prenatal enucleation in the monkey: development of acetylcholinesterase and cytochrome oxidase patterns.

Abstract excerpt

Prenatal bilateral enucleation induces cortex, which normally would have become striate cortex, to follow a default developmental pathway and to take on the cytoarchitectonic appearance of extrastriate cortex (default extrastriate cortex, Dehay et al. [1996] J. Comp. Neurol. 367:70-89). We have investigated if this manipulation influences the cortical expression of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cytochrome...
