Neural Development, 2007 Background Organs are programmed to acquire a particular size during development, but the regulatory mechanisms that dictate when dividing progenitor cells should permanently exit the cell cycle and stop producing additional daughter cells are poorly ...

Developmental errors in the common marmoset retina
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Although retinal organization is remarkably conserved, morphological anomalies can be found to different extents and varieties across animal species with each presenting unique characteristics and patterns of displaced and misplaced neurons.

Inhibitory control of feature selectivity in an object motion sensitive circuit of the retina [PDF]
, 2017 Object motion sensitive (OMS) W3-retinal ganglion cells (W3-RGCs) in mice respond to local movements in a visual scene but remain silent during self-generated global image motion. The excitatory inputs that drive responses of W3-RGCs to local motion were

Docosahexaenoic acid promotes photoreceptor differentiation without altering Crx expression [PDF]
, 2006 PURPOSE: The precise molecular cues required for photoreceptor development are still unknown. Pax6 and Crx are essential during early retinal development and for photoreceptor differentiation, respectively.

Local processing in neurites of VGluT3- expressing amacrine cells differentially organizes visual information [PDF]
, 2017 Neurons receive synaptic inputs on extensive neurite arbors. How information is organized across arbors and how local processing in neurites contributes to circuit function is mostly unknown.
