Dscam and Sidekick proteins direct lamina-specific synaptic connections in vertebrate retina
Article Abstract:
The dependence of the lamina-specific synaptic connections in the vertebrate retina on the Dscam (Down's syndrome cell adhesion molecule) and Sidekick proteins is discussed. The vertebrate Dscams are found to play a very important role in the process of neural connectivity.
