Role of emergent neural activity in visual map development

Role of emergent neural activity in visual map development

Highlights • Retinal waves drive visual circuits before the onset of visual experience. • Map development in the midbrain, thalamus and cortex is regulated by retinal waves. • Development of intra-hemispheric and inter-hemispheric maps may depend on spontaneous activity. • New techniques will aid th...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Retinal waves drive visual circuits before the onset of visual experience. • Map development in the midbrain, thalamus and cortex is regulated by retinal waves. • Development of intra-hemispheric and inter-hemispheric maps may depend on spontaneous activity. • New techniques will aid the study of emergent activity and map development.
