Retinal waves are likely to instruct the formation of eye-specific retinogeniculate projections

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Prior to eye-opening and the development of visual responses, the retina exhibits highly correlated spontaneous firing pattens termed retinal waves. Disruption of the normal spontaneous firing pattern either genetically or pharmacologically prevents the eye-speci...
