Topic: arborization fields

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) transmit visual information from the retina to the brain and are conserved among vertebrates. In zebrafish, RGCs project their axons to downstream brain areas known as arborization fields (AFs). Previous anatomical studies have demonstrated that each RGC axon targets one or a few of AF1-9 and 10 distinct layers of AF10 (optic tectum). Although it was proposed that each projection type represents one functional type, the correspondence between morphology and function of genetically defined RGC subtypes is still unclear. To address this question, we focused on RGC s
