Competition driven by retinal waves promotes morphological and functional synaptic development of neurons in the superior colliculus

Prior to eye opening, waves of spontaneous activity sweep across the developing retina. These “retinal waves,” together with genetically encoded molecular mechanisms, mediate the formation of visual maps in the brain. However, the specific role of wave activity in synapse development in retino-recip...
