Abstract excerpt
The retinocollicular projection is a preferred axon guidance pathway for investigating molecular mechanisms of synaptic targeting in the mammalian CNS. Here we identify a previously unrecognized role of the L1 cell adhesion molecule in topographic mapping of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons to their targets in the mouse superior colliculus (SC). L1 was transiently expressed on RGC axons during axon growth and...
