From synaptogenesis to map formation - modeling visual system development exploring the contribution of cellular mechanisms to the emergence of retinotopic projections and eye-specific segregation
The brain is composed of many anatomically distinct areas that control different functions. A common feature of these areas is that information is represented in a spatially organized manner. In the visual system, retinal representation is spatially mapped onto visual areas such that neighboring...
