Development and Organization of the Retina [PDF ebook] 
From Molecules to Function

Development and Organization of the Retina offers an invaluable survey of contemporary research issues and methods dealing with the retina and retinal projections. The book’s 19 chapters report on investigations into two areas: research into the organization of the mature retina and work on developmental issues. A sampling of chapter topics includes — embryonic patterning of cone subtypes in the mammalian retina — synaptic transmission between retinal neurons — scaling the retina, macro and micro — retinal ganglion cell axonal transport, and more.
