The fluorescent dye diamidino yellow was injected into parts of the developing visual and auditory systems in the rat. The dye was retrogradely transported by projecting neurones and was found to stain pyknotic profiles within the labelled cell populations. It is thus possible to visualize directly the death of neurones which project axons to specific and identified target regions within the nervous system.
