Formation of retinal direction-selective circuitry initiated by starburst amacrine cell homotypic contact

Other · December 18, 2017 Impact statement Selective synapse formation in a retinal motion-sensitive circuit is orchestrated by starburst amacrine cells, which use homotypic interactions to initiate formation of a dendritic scaffold that recruits projections from circuit partners. ...

Following directions from the retina to the brain.

Other Neuron · May 20, 2015 Different types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) project to distinct brain targets. In this issue of Neuron, Osterhout et al. (2015) and Sun et al. (2015) identify how direction-selective RGC axons match with their targets and the consequences for visual f ... Full text Link to item Cite

Out-foxing fate; molecular switches create neuronal diversity in the retina.

Other Neuron · September 16, 2004 Progenitor cells in the mammalian retina generate at least 55 distinct kinds of neurons. Two reports in this issue of Neuron reveal two transcription factors (Foxn4 and Bhlhb4) that contribute to the development of this remarkable cellular diversity. ... Full text Link to item Cite
