A Guide for the Multiplexed: The Development of Visual Feature Maps in the Brain
2023, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :The existence of such competitive mechanisms may confer an adaptive advantage for matching input to available target space. In animals with a partially ablated retina or tectum/superior colliculus, the resultant projection gradually expands or contracts to more uniformly fill the available target space to form a smooth map of visual space (Finlay et al., 1979; Fraser and Hunt, 1980; Simon et al., 1994). Competition between axons does not only serve to fill the available target space but also maintains the relative rather than absolute spatial relationship between neurons constituting the map.
Molecular mechanisms of vertebrate retina development: Implications for ganglion cell and photoreceptor patterning
2008, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :The common finding from these experiments is that specification of axial polarity in the eye anlage is one of the earliest steps in eye development. Transplantation experiments performed in Xenopus laevis, for example, suggested that the eye primordium contains orthogonal reference axes as early as the optic vesicle stage, an idea that was later corroborated by rotation and grafting experiments in the same species (e.g. Fraser and Hunt, 1980; Hunt and Jacobson, 1973; Sharma and Hollyfield, 1980). Dütting and colleagues analyzed the development of retinotopic specificity in chick embryos in ovo and arrived at essentially identical conclusions (Dutting and Meyer, 1995; Dutting and Thanos, 1995).
