Zusammenfassung:Using a transgenic mouse line in which GFP is expressed in a single population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), Huberman and colleagues report in this issue of Neuron that the axon terminals of RGCs exhibit an orderly pattern of distribution in the higher visual centers. This pattern undergoes a developmental refinement, and synchronous activity in the retina regulates columnar but not laminar formation.
