Region-specific Brain Targets Drive Circuit Formation and Maturation of Human Retinal Ganglion Cells

Kang-Chieh Huang, Eyad Shihabeddin, Han-Yin Jeng…·Melanie A. Samuel

This paper develops an in vitro model to study human retinal ganglion cell (RGC) connectivity with specific brain regions, showing that cultured RGCs form region-specific synapses with mouse brain targets.
