Formative Significance of Photoreceptive and Ganglion Cells of the Retina of the Eye

Abstract

IN the course of development the optic cup induces formation of the normal lens in overlying ectoderm and, later on, the pupil provokes formation of the cornea from ectoderm and mesenchyma. This regular scheme was described by Mangold1 in his classical review of the determination of the vertebrate eye. This scheme was also included in a more recent article by Lopashov and Stroeva2 dealing with the same question without any considerable alterations.
