Title: Selective acrylamide-induced degeneration of color opponent ganglion cells in macaques.

Authors: Eskin, T A; Merigan, W H

Published In Brain Res, (1986 Jul 23)

Abstract: P beta (color opponent) retinal ganglion cells in macaques were found to degenerate as a result of oral administration of acrylamide. Histological examination, wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase transport and cytochrome oxidase histochemistry indicate that other retinal ganglion cells and other neurons in the visual pathways were spared.
