How the visual cortex wires itself—targeted from the start, refined over time

A new study led by biologists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, reveals how the primary visual cortex establishes its complex long-range neural networks during early brain development. The study presents a comprehensive, fine-grained map of how the primary visual cortex connects to 11 higher visual areas during development.
