Axons of retinal ganglion cells establish orderly projections to the superior colliculus of the midbrain. Axons of neighboring cells terminate proximally in the superior colliculus thus forming a topographically precise representation of…
In wild-type mice axons of retinal ganglion cells establish topographically precise projection to the superior colliculus of the midbrain. This implies that axons of neighboring retinal ganglion cells project to the proximal locations in…
