The upper visual layers of the mouse superior colliculus (SC) exhibit an orientation preference map (OPM) with a retinotopy-based concentric pattern (Ahmadlou and Heimel, 2015; Feinberg and Meister, 2015; but see Chen et al., 2020). The underlying developmental mechanisms that give rise to this concentric OPM in the mouse SC are still unclear. During visual system development, the stage III (S3) retinal waves are known to play important roles in circuit formation. Specifically, the S3 waves that tend to propagate towards the caudal direction (Gribizis et al., 2019) have impacts on the directio
