About this title

Synopsis

Expands the classical description of the development of visual systems based on neural systems to the cellular and molecular level, in 16 studies first presented to the Retina Research Foundation symposium in Woodlands, Texas, in May 1990. Reporting on research ranging from fish and frogs to the abnormal visual experience on the primary visual cortex of the cat, addresses four specific aspects: cell lineage and fate, specificity and targeting of axions, the specification of the visual cortex, and correlates of the critical period. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
