Different Roles of Axon Guidance Cues and Patterned Spontaneous Activity in Establishing Receptive Fields in the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Different Roles of Axon Guidance Cues and Patterned Spontaneous Activity in Establishing Receptive Fields in the Mouse Superior Colliculus

Visual neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) respond to both bright (On) and dark (off) stimuli in their receptive fields. This receptive field property is due to proper convergence of On- and Off- centered retinal ganglion cells to their target cells in the SC. In this study, we have compared the...
