Lamina-specific axonal projections in the zebrafish tectum require the type IV collagen Dragnet.

Nature neuroscience - 1 Dec 2007

Xiao Tong, Baier Herwig

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms underlying the precise targeting of tectal layers by ingrowing retinal axons are largely unknown. In zebrafish, individual axons choose one of four retinorecipient layers upon entering the tectum and remain restricted to this layer, despite continual remodeling and shifting of their terminal arbors. In dragnet mutants, by contrast, a large fraction of retinal axons aberrantly trespass between...
