Math5 and other homologs of atonal are required for differentiation of cells in this structure.
Math5 and other homologs of atonal are required for differentiation of cells in this structure. Its patterning is driven by Soho-1 and GH6 in chicks. During development, this structure is split by a transient acellular layer named for Chievitz. A compound named for it activates Lefty-1 transcription and patterns the hindbrain. In Drosophila, a wave of hedgehog creates the morphogenetic furrow during the development of the (*) nasotemporal axis of this structure, which proceeds by the induction of a single R8 cell. The namesake progenitors for this structure localize to the ciliary marginal zone or to its namesake pigmented epithelium. During differentiation, it produces MÃ¼ller glia. Horizontal cells nest on this structure's outer plexiform layer, one of seven layers that also include bipolar and amacrine neurons. For 10 points, name this light-sensitive tissue home to rods and cones.
