Abstract: | Studies on the regenerating vertebrate retina provide, for the first time, a detailed view of how cells respond to removal of 2/3 of the eyebud, how their displacements, new juxtapositions, and extra mitotic activity correlate with stable changes in the retinotectal projection. They provide insight into how retinal ganglion cells encode "position", and how they use this information to form specific neural connectivity patterns. |
