Retinal input is required for the maintenance of neuronal laminae in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus

The paper shows that retinal inputs are necessary for maintaining laminar organization in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) but not for its initial formation.

A cell-ECM mechanism for connecting the ipsilateral eye to the brain

The paper identifies a cell-ECM recognition mechanism that directs ipsilateral retinal ganglion cell axons to a specific sublamina of the superior colliculus, enabling eye-specific visual pathways.

Diverse GABAergic neurons organize into subtype-specific sublaminae in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus

The paper identifies subtype-specific sublaminae in the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN) that receive retinal input and are composed of distinct GABAergic neurons.
