Riassunto

Researchers investigating the function of the mature retina and those concerned with its development, or with using it as a research tool to illuminate matters of developmental neurobiology in general, combine to offer 19 papers for colleagues and advanced students. They tackle such issues as the embryonic patterning of cone subtypes in the mammalian retina, the development of ON and OFF retinal ganglion cell mosaics, the sampling of information in the Fourier space by M and P cells as parallel pathways of primate vision, synaptic transmissions between retinal neurons, the diseased retinal ganglion cell and its propensity to survive and regenerate an axon with functional significance, and the role of serotonin in the development of the retinotectal projection.

Recensione

`The book gives an excellent and comprehensive overview of a major active ophthalmogical research field. The book can be highly recommended for those who might be interested in a five-hour update on the current status within retinal development and organization.'
Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 77:4 (August 1999)
