In adult albino (SD) and pigmented (PVG) rats the entire population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) was quantified and their spatial distribution analyzed using a computerized technique. RGCs were back-labelled from the optic nerves (ON) or the superior colliculi (SCi) with Fluorogold (FG). Numbers of RGCs labelled from the ON [SD: 82,818 +/- 3,949, n = 27; PVG: 89,241 +/- 3,576, n = 6) were comparable to those labelled from the SCi [SD: 81,486 +/- 4,340, n = 37; PVC: 87,229 +/- 3,199; n = 59]. Detailed methodology to provide cell density information at small scales demonstrated the presence of a horizontal region in the dorsal retina with highest densities, resembling a visual streak.
