Summary
This paper discusses the development of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and the mechanisms that guide their axons to their main targets in the brain, focusing on the differences between ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting RGCs.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the development and functioning of retinal ganglion cells, which are crucial for transmitting visual information from the retina to the brain.
Education and learning: The paper provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the mechanisms controlling the specification of ipsilaterally and contralaterally projecting RGCs and the molecular mechanisms that guide the axons of these cells to their main targets in the brain.
