Retinal arbors in the tectum of living adult goldfish were imaged to determine whether the structural remodelling and refinement that occurs during development continues in adulthood. Individual optic fibers were labelled by making small injections of the lipophilic fluorescent dye DiI into ventral retina and viewing the exposed tectum through a fluorescence microscope equipped with a cooled CCD camera. Arbors were imaged in the living fish every 30-60 minutes for up to 7 hours. Normal adult goldfish showed no evidence of arbor remodelling during this period, though dynamic movements of varicosities present along axon segments were observed. For comparison, regenerating optic fibers were similarly imaged in fish that had undergone optic nerve crush 2-6 weeks previously. In these fish, dynamic structural changes were seen, including branch remodelling, extension and retraction of growth cones, and movement of varicosities. |
