This study is the first to describe a cell type-specific genetic program essential for targeting a discrete retinal neuron population to the proper lamina, and suggests a model whereby Lim1 lies downstream of horizontal cell fate determination factors and functions cell autonomously to instruct differentiating horizontal cells to the appropriate laminar position in the developing retina.

Mosaics of Islet-1-Expressing Amacrine Cells Assembled by Short-Range Cellular Interactions

- 15 October 1997
It is shown that spatial ordering is an intrinsic property of the two Islet-1 mosaics, dynamically maintained while new elements are inserted into the mosaic, and mathematical models show how short-range cellular interactions can guide the assemblage of these mosaics via a simple biological rule.
The topography of rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the ground squirrel

The change in rod/cone ratio between the dorsal and ventral halves of the retina indicates a conspicuous asymmetry in the ground squirrel's visual system, suggesting a specialization for maximizing visual sensitivity under dim levels of illumination in the superior visual field.

Observations support the ideas that chromatic signals could arise from stochastic variation in inputs drawn nonselectively from red and green cones and tissue mosaicism due to X chromosome inactivation could be one mechanism for driving the evolution of CNS diversity.

The results demonstrate, first, that although there is widespread radial dispersion, no cortical region is composed of radially arrayed stripes of cells in which all members of a stripe are derived from a single progenitor, and second, they demonstrate that the boundaries of individual stripes do not always coincide with single anatomical units of cortical specialization, such as individual barrels.
Radial and tangential dispersion patterns in the mouse retina are cell-class specific.
The retina shows a conspicuous distinction for clonally related neuroblasts of different laminar and functional fates: the rod photoreceptor, Müller, and bipolar cells are aligned in the radial axis, whereas the cone photorecept, horizontal, amacrine, and ganglion cells are tangentially displaced with respect to them, indicating that the dispersion of cell classes across the retinal surface is differentially constrained.
