Retinal Input Directs the Recruitment of Inhibitory Interneurons into Thalamic Visual Circuits

(Neuron 81, 1057–1069; March 5, 2014) The original version of this article omitted two citations. These papers provide a seminal description of retinal waves (Meister et al., 1991) and their effects on retinogeniculate patterning (Penn et al., 1998). These citations have been added, and the article has now been corrected online. Retinal Input Directs the Recruitment of Inhibitory Interneurons into Thalamic Visual CircuitsGolding et al.NeuronMarch 05, 2014In BriefHow distinct neurons assemble to form circuits is unclear. Working in the visual system, Golding et al. reveal that retinal activity is critical to recruit inhibitory neurons. Therefore, external stimuli determine the neuronal diversity and resulting complexity of brain circuits during development and evolution. Full-Text PDF Open Archive
