Cellular mechanisms underlying the precision by which neurons target their synaptic
partners have largely been determined based on the study of projection neurons. By …

Targeting of axons and dendrites to particular synaptic laminae is an important mechanism
by which precise patterns of neuronal connectivity are established. Although axons target …

The cellular mechanisms underlying axogenesis and dendritogenesis are not completely
understood. The axons and dendrites of retinal bipolar cells, which contact their synaptic …

purpose. In animal models of retinitis pigmentosa, rod photoreceptor degeneration
eventually leads to loss of cone photoreceptors. The purpose of this study was to …

Synaptic connections of the vertebrate retina are organized into distinct laminae (Fig. 1). In
the outer retina, photoreceptors contact horizontal cells and bipolar cells within a single …

Background Neurons receive excitatory synaptic inputs that are distributed across their
dendritic arbors at densities and with spatial patterns that influence their output. How specific …

In vivo, high‐resolution, time‐lapse imaging characterized lens development in the zebrafish
from 16 to 96 hr postfertilization (hpf). In zebrafish, the lens placode appeared in the head …

Epilepsy is a common disorder, typified by recurrent seizures with underlying neurological
disorders or disease. Approximately one-third of patients are unresponsive to currently …

Axonal differentiation of retinal bipolar cells has largely been studied by comparing the
morphology of these interneurons in fixed tissue at different ages. To better understand how …

Purpose.: Even though zebrafish development does not include the formation of a lens
vesicle, the authors' hypothesis is that the processes of cell differentiation are similar in …
