About this title

Review

The book gives an excellent and comprehensive overview of a major active ophthalmogical research field. The book can be highly recommended for those who might be interested in a five-hour update on the current status within retinal development and organization.' Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica, 77: 4 (August 1999)

Synopsis

Researchers investigating the function of the mature retina and those concerned with its development, or with using it as a research tool to illuminate matters of developmental neurobiology in general, combine to offer 19 papers for colleagues and advanced students. They tackle such issues as the embryonic patterning of cone subtypes in the mammali
