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 em

Development and Organization of the Retina offers an invaluable survey of contemporary research issues and methods dealing with the retina and retinal projections.
The book's 19 chapters report on investigations into two areas: research into the organization of the mature retina and work on developmental issues. A sampling of chapter topics includes -- embryonic patterning of cone subtypes in the mammalian retina -- synaptic transmission between retinal neurons -- scaling the retina, macro and micro -- retinal ganglion cell axonal transport, and more.
