Functional role of a specific ganglioside in neuronal migration and neurite outgrowth. R. Mendez-Otero and M.F. Santiago. Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 36 (8): 1003, 2003.

Figure 2. Immunocytochemical distribution of 9-O-acetyl GD3 in the developing rat retina. Dark-field photomicrograph of an immunogold-stained section through the eye of an embryonic day 18 rat embryo. Observe the staining in the central part of the retina and the absence of labeling at the periphery. At this age the presumptive ganglion cells are formed in the central part of the retina and migrate to form the ganglion cell layer. Scale bar: 150 µm.
