- W166440457 abstract "Retinal nerve cells are distributed as nonrandom arrays across the retinal surface. The regularity in such retinal mosaics is considered to be fundamental to retinal organization, ensuring a uniform distribution of labor in processing the visual image across global variations in cellular density. Nearest neighbor analysis has been the classic means to assess the regularity in such retinal arrays, but Voronoi-based analyses have recently come into favor for describing the two-dimensional patterning in retinal mosaics. Auto- and cross-correlation analyses and modeling studies have established that the patterning in these mosaics is largely achieved by mechanisms acting during development that prohibit like-type cells from being positioned in close proximity to one another, being independent of the patterning present in other nerve cell types. This somal patterning is widely presumed to increase the uniformity by which the processes of these cells cover the retinal surface. The degree of dendritic overlap between homotypic neighbors is characteristic of each type of nerve cell: those that extend their processes to the tips of their homotypic neighbors tessellate the retinal surface perfectly, ensuring that each location on the retina is subserved by the dendrites of one and only one cell. Other cell types establish a retinal coverage far greater than one, extending their overlapping processes in proportion to the decline in homotypic cell density in order to maintain a constant coverage across the retina. Still other cell types do not appear to regulate process outgrowth in relation to their neighbors. Such variation in overlap, and the associated connectivity established within the plexiform layers, is directly related to the functional contribution of each cell type, with those cell types subserving image-forming functions generally displaying greater regularity and homotypic control of overlap, while those subserving modulatory functions showing less regularity and an absence of homotypic dendritic regulation." @default.
