Lateralized Tenm4 expression biases visual performance and modulates axonal growth and pre-synapse size in retinal ganglion cells

The precise wiring of neuronal connections is a striking feature of the central nervous system and is critical for correct brain function. During vertebrate visual development, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) establish synaptic connections with postsynaptic cells in the optic tectum, a process that is in part conferred b...
