The vertebrate retina projects topographically to visual brain centres. In the developing visual system, gradients of ephrins and Eph receptors play a role in defining topography. At maturity, ephrins but not Ephs are downregulated. Here we show that optic nerve section in adult rat differentially regulates the expression of ephrin‐A2 in the superior colliculus (SC) and of EphA5 in the retina. Expression was quantified immunohistochemically; ephrin‐A2 levels were also estimated by…

Preservation of a nasallow–temporalhigh EphA5 gradient in RGCs and establishment of a rostrallow–caudalhigh ephrin‐A2 gradient within neurones of the SC are revealed, suggesting a potential for guidance cues to restore the topography of RGC axons in the SC.

Bilateral increases in retinal EphA5 expression demonstrate that signals for up‐regulation operate interocularly, and demonstrates that signals regulating guidance cue expression are both localized and relayed transneuronally.

Test the hypothesis that changes in the retinal EphA5 gradient guide recovery of the retinocollicular projection from early injury and find that the nasotemporal gradient of Eph a5 receptor expression steepens in the retina and overall expression levels change dynamically, especially in temporal retina, supporting the hypothesis.

A correlation between changes in ephrin‐A gradients and map compression is established, and it is suggested that ephin‐A expression gradients may be regulated by target size, which could lead to compression of the retinocollicular map onto the reduced target.

The results indicate that ephrin/Eph As are useful cell markers in human CNS tissue samples; they likely are involved in the immunopathogenesis of active lesions and in neurodegeneration in MS NAWM; and they represent potential therapeutic targets in MS.

It is shown that innervation but not denervation triggers increased ephrin A2 expression after a brachial lesion, and values are significantly elevated rostral at P5 and caudally at P12; moreover, a steep rostro-caudal gradient is present at both ages.
