“…Growth cones navigating toward, through, and away from midline choice points adjust their receptor expression to continue their journey to the target (e.g., Dodd, Morton, Karagogeos, Yamamoto, & Jessell, ), but guidance molecule expression patterns on RGC axons post‐chiasm are largely unknown. Expression of guidance molecules by RGC axons within the optic tract may be regulated by local translation (Hornberg, Cioni, Harris, & Holt, ), so future experiments testing the involvement of axon order in the optic tract on targeting in the dLGN will need spatiotemporal precision in manipulations of RGC axons. That is, it will be key to selectively affect axons within the optic tract, and not those prior to the chiasm, so as to differentiate between effects on decussation versus effects on axon organization in the tract.…”
