Activity-dependent Organization of Topographic Neural Circuits
2023, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :But several studies challenged Sperry’s chemoaffinity hypothesis (Gaze et al., 1963; Gaze et al., 1965; Meyer, 1998). For instance, in experiments with half retinas, allowing animals to survive for longer periods after surgery resulted in the half retinas innervating the entire tectal lobe, forming a scaled topographic projection (Yoon, 1971; Yoon, 1972). Furthermore, when the caudal half of the tectum was ablated, regenerated axon projections from the entire retina formed a compressed and topographically organized map within the remaining target space.
Natural computation and its limits: Efim Liberman at the dawn of a new science
2022, BioSystemsCitation Excerpt :A message about the tasks set or solved by a specific nerve center should be transmitted by output neurons to other strictly defined centers of the brain, but not necessarily to certain neurons of the same centers. From this point of view, it is easy to interpret the results of experiments, in which, after the destruction of a half of the visual cortex, the projection of the entire retina, determined by the axons of the glia cells, is compressed in an orderly manner to the size of the entire remaining region of the corpora quadrigemina (Yoon, 1971). As mentioned earlier, MCCs of neurons of a certain type are able to solve a certain set of problems after differentiation.
Chemoaffinity in topographic mapping revisited - Is it more about fiber-fiber than fiber-target interactions?
2014, Seminars in Cell and Developmental BiologyCitation Excerpt :Double temporal (TT) or double nasal (NN) retinae microsurgically assembled in the larvae, instead of forming doubly occupied maps on their respective tectal halves, matured into expanded projections of each half-retina on the whole target (“compound eye experiments”; [21]). Conversely, tectal ablations (anterior or posterior half) in the goldfish (Fig. 1C), irrespective of concomitant nerve transection, yielded compressed maps of the full retina on the remaining half-target (“compression experiments”; [22–24]). Notably, without nerve transection, this implies mobilization of maturely connected axons of the remaining half-tectum.
