Cortical-Thalamic Axons are Required for Retinal Ganglion Cell Targeting to the Mouse Dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
Summary:
This paper investigates the role of V1 input during the development of the mouse visual system, including innervation patterns of Retinal Ganglion Cells within multiple subcortical nuclei.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of neurons in memory and perception, particularly in relation to the visual system.
