Early development and function of the Xenopus tadpole retinotectal circuit

Highlights • The retinotectal circuit is the major component of the amphibian visual system. • It has been a powerful model to study all aspects of neurodevelopment. • Recently, visually guided behaviors have been characterized in tadpole larvae. • Promotes the identification of links between molecu...
