Melanopsin regulates axonal translation underlying retinohypothalamic circuit assembly

This study shows melanopsin regulates local axonal translation in developing ipRGCs, affecting circuit assembly and synaptic development before eye-opening.

Eye-specific differences in active zone addition during synaptic competition in the developing visual system

The paper examines eye-specific differences in active zone addition during synaptic competition in the developing visual system, finding that dominant-eye projections form more multi-active-zone contacts while non-dominant-eye projections add single active zone synapses.

The synaptic basis of activity-dependent eye-specific competition

This study identifies the role of spontaneous activity in regulating presynaptic terminal remodeling during eye-specific synaptogenesis and competition in the mouse visual system.
