Pro-neurotrophins secreted from retinal ganglion cell axons are necessary for ephrinA-p75<sup>NTR</sup>-mediated axon guidance

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Retinotectal map formation develops via topographically specific guidance and branching of retinal axons in their target area. This process is controlled, in part, by reverse signalling of ephrinAs expressed on retinal axons. As glyc...
