Abstract
Injection of kainic acid into the vitreous of rats causes mitoses to develop in the inner nuclear layer of the retina. The mitoses appear to be in amacrine cells. Sustained depolarization, which has been shown to be mitogenic for spinal cord neurones cultured in vitro, is presumably the mitogenic stimulus in retinal neurones exposed to kainic acid.
