Cell types are the basic functional units of an organism. Cell types exhibit diverse
phenotypic properties at multiple levels, making them challenging to define, categorize, and …

The mammalian brain consists of millions to billions of cells that are organized into many cell
types with specific spatial distribution patterns and structural and functional properties …

This review covers recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling
neurogenesis and specification of the develo** retina, with a focus on insights obtained …

The basic plan of the retina is conserved across vertebrates, yet species differ profoundly in
their visual needs. Retinal cell types may have evolved to accommodate these varied needs …

The house mouse (Mus musculus) is an exceptional model system, combining genetic
tractability with close evolutionary affinity to humans,. Mouse gestation lasts only 3 weeks …

Understanding the formation of the complex nervous system hinges on decoding the
mechanism that specifies a vast array of neuronal types, each endowed with a unique …

The diversity of visual input processed by the mammalian visual system requires the
generation of many distinct retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types, each tuned to a particular …

Despite substantial progress in understanding the biology of axon regeneration in the CNS,
our ability to promote regeneration of the clinically important corticospinal tract (CST) after …

Seeing in three dimensions is a major property of the visual system in mammals. The circuit
underlying this property begins in the retina, from which retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) extend …

Spontaneous activity is a hallmark of develo** neural systems. In the retina, spontaneous
activity comes in the form of retinal waves, comprised of three stages persisting from …
