Formation of retinal direction-selective circuitry initiated by starburst amacrine cell homotypic contact

A common strategy by which developing neurons locate their synaptic partners is through projections to circuit-specific neuropil sublayers. Once established, sublayers serve as a substrate for selective synapse formation, but how sublayers arise during neurodevelopment remains unknown. Here, we iden...
