Total number of contralateral and ipsilateral RGCs in albino and pigmented rats.

Mean number ± standard deviation (SD) of contralateral-RGCs (left retinas) and ipsilateral-RGCs (right retinas) in the albino (SD) and pigmented (PVG) rats. It is shown as well the number of ipsilateral-RGCs that express Brn3a, Brn3b or Brn3c. n = number of analyzed retinas. *The pigmented strain has significantly more ipsilateral-RGCs than the albino one (t-test p§In the albino strain there are significantly more ipsilateral-RGCs that express Brn3a, Brn3b or Brn3c than in the pigmented one (t-test p
