A molecular mechanism for the topographic alignment of convergent neural maps

A molecular mechanism for the topographic alignment of convergent neural maps

Sensory processing requires proper alignment of neural maps throughout the brain. In the superficial layers of the superior colliculus of the midbrain, converging projections from retinal ganglion cells and neurons in visual cortex must be aligned to form a visuotopic map, but the basic mechanisms m...
