Afferent growth cone interactions control synaptic specificity in the Drosophila visual system.

Neuron - 1 Nov 2000

Clandinin T R, Zipursky S L

Abstract excerpt

In the Drosophila compound eye, photoreceptors (R cells) that respond to light from the same point in space are distributed across the retina and connect to the same target neurons. This complex connectivity pattern reconstructs visual space in the first optic ganglion, the lamina. We have used mutations that delete specific R cell subtypes or alter their retinal organization to define the cellular mechanisms...
