AbstractThe postnatal development of a population of superior colliculus projecting retinal ganglion cells with large somata in hamsters aged from postnatal day (P) 4 to adult was studied by the intracellular injection of Lucifer Yellow. This population of cells was interpreted as Type I cells based on their large soma sizes and dendritic morphology resembling that of mature Type I cells. In addition to the growth of the soma and the dendritic field, transient morphological features such as intraretinal axon collaterals and exuberant dendritic spines, but not somatic spines, were frequently observed on this population of cells in hamsters during development. None of them exhibited any intraretinal axon collaterals after P7. The number of transient spine-like processes on dendrites increased from P4 onwards to reach a peak at P16, decreased abruptly within a few days after the peak, and stabilised to reach the adult level by P30. These developing cells attained the maximum number of dendritic branches by P16 and there seems to be little, if any, reduction in the number of branch points after this time point. In addition, the length of individual branches of dendrites was not increased excessively during development and then shortened during maturation. Thus, the dendritic remodeling of these cells after P16 seems to be mainly the increase of the length of dendrites and the removal of exuberant dendritic spines.
