Recently the phenomenon of anterograde intraaxonal transportal, a2 has successfully been utilized for the autoradiographic identification of axonal projections within the central nervous systemL Following the experiments on peripheral axons of motor neurons by Kristensson et al. 2o and others 18, at, LaVail and LaVai122 demonstrated retrograde intraaxonal transport of the protein horseradish peroxidase (HRP, mol. wt. 40,000) within the central nervous system of the chick. In the latter experiments HRP injected into either the eye or the optic tectum was found to accumulate within cell bodies whose axons are known to project to the site of the injection. In the present study, using smaller, more restricted injections into brain parenchyma, we have found that retrograde intraaxonal transport of HRP can serve to identify those cell bodies that project their axons to specific regions of the avian and adult mammalian central nervous system.This study was performed using chicks, mice and rats of several ages. In 3 oneweek-old chicks (Line 100, Cobb Hatchery, Littleton, Mass.) anesthetized with Avertin 24, HRP was injected into the optic tectum. Seven adult mice (C57BL/6J X CE/J F1 hybrids) also anesthetized with Avertin received an injection of HRP: 5 in the cerebellar hemisphere, and two in the superior colliculus. In further experiments, 5 adult albino rats (Fisher inbred) anesthetized with Nembutal received intracerebral injections of HRP: 3 in the hippocampus, one in the septum and one in the occipital cortex. Various volumes and concentrations of HRP (Type VI, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis) dissolved in saline were injected. Twenty to 26 h after injection the animals were anesthetized and perfused with a fixative containing 1 o formaldehyde and 1.25~ o glutaraldehydO 6 in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (24 C; pH 7.4). The following day, the brains and in some cases the spinal cords were removed and stored overnight in the same phosphate buffer containing 5~ sucrose. Serial sections 40 or 60# m thick were cut on a freezing microtome and were incubated for 5-10 min in a medium containing hydrogen peroxide and 3, 3'-diamino-benzidine tetrahydrochloride a2. The sections were then mounted in gelatin on slides and in some cases lightly counterstained with 0.5~ cresyl violet.
