title: Patterning the neural retina.
abstract: The early patterning events that shape the neural retina guide the genesis and distribution of postmitotic cell types, as well as their connectivity. The recent discovery of key signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in establishing central, anterior-posterior, and dorsal-ventral retinal patterning has given us insights into the molecular mechanisms controlling these events.
