"Eph/ephrin-receptor/ligand A and B families play a variety of roles during CNS development, including patterning the retinotectal projection. However, the alignment of their expression gradients with developing retinotectal maps and gradients of cellular development is not well understood in species whose midbrain tecta undergo a protracted anterior to posterior development," researchers in the United States report (see also Life Sciences).
"By using anatomical tracing methods and 3 H-thymidine neuronography, we have mapped the retinotectal projection and the spatio-temporal progression of tectal cellular development onto Eph/ephrin expression patterns in the ...
