Modeling development in retinal afferents: retinotopy, segregation, and ephrinA/EphA mutants.

During neural development, neurons extend axons to target areas of the brain. Through processes of growth, branching and retraction these axons establish stereotypic patterns of connectivity. In the visual system, these patterns include retinotopic organization and the segregation of individual axon...
