Retinal bundles, connecting the retina of the octopus to the ipsilateral optic lobe, contain both retinal photoreceptor axons that terminate in the optic lobe and centrifugal axons whose cell bodies lie within the lobe. Staining axonal elements in proximal stubs of individual retinal bundles by cobalt diffusion and subsequent sulphide treatment reveals the topographic relationship between afferent terminals and centrifugal cell bodies. At the outer border of the plexiform layer, stained terminal bags (photoreceptor axon enlargements), an indicator of photoreceptor terminal spread within this layer, overlap stained centrifugal cell bodies located within the inner granule layer. The details of this overlap indicate a dorsoventral representation of each retinal bundle within the optic lobe cortex.
