Activity-dependent refinement of the developing visual system. A comparative study across retinal ganglion cell populations and target nuclei
Summary:
This paper discusses the formation of the mammalian visual system, focusing on the role of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their spontaneous activity in the refinement of axonal connections in the visual nuclei of the brain.
Categories
- Eye health: The paper discusses the role of retinal ganglion cells in the formation of the visual system, which is crucial for eye health.
