Developmental mechanisms of topographic map formation and alignment

J Cang, DA Feldheim - Annual review of neuroscience, 2013 - annualreviews.org

within and across modalities. This alignment facilitates coherent integration of different …

The mouse superior colliculus: an emerging model for studying circuit formation and function

S Ito, DA Feldheim - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The superior colliculus (SC) is a midbrain area where visual, auditory and somatosensory
information are integrated to initiate motor commands. The SC plays a central role in visual …

Critical period plasticity matches binocular orientation preference in the visual cortex

BS Wang, R Sarnaik, J Cang - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
Changes of ocular dominance in the visual cortex can be induced by visual manipulations
during a critical period in early life. However, the role of critical period plasticity in normal …

Visual map development: bidirectional signaling, bifunctional guidance molecules, and competition

DA Feldheim, DDM O'Leary - Cold Spring Harbor …, 2010 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Topographic maps are a two-dimensional representation of one neural structure within
another and serve as the main strategy to organize sensory information. The retina's …
