Gap junctions set the speed and nucleation rate of stage I retinal waves.
Spontaneous waves in the developing retina are essential in the formation of the retinotopic mapping in the visual system. From experiments in rabbits, it is known that the earliest type of retinal waves (stage I) is nucleated spontaneously, propagates at a speed of 451±91 μm/sec and relies on gap j...
