| Research Abstract |
When visual information received in the retina is transmitted to the brain, the spatial order of retinal axons is preserved in the spatial order of their targets. Such retinotopic projections are observed throughout the visual system. However, molecular mechanisms that establish the retinotopy in the higher order visual center remain elusive. In this study, we focused on the roles of Wnt family proteins in the fly visual center and revealed key mechanisms that form the retinotopy in the higher order visual center.
