The complexity and nonlinear dynamics of patterning networks in development make modeling an important approach for the evaluation of the experimentally derived pattern formation mechanisms. As a rule, mechanistic models of patterning networks have large number of uncertain parameters; model analysi
In fish retinas, cone photoreceptor cells are arranged in two-dimensional regular patterns, called cone mosaics. In the zebrafish retina, four subtypes of cone cells, which are maximally sensitive to different wavelengths of light, appear in quasi-periodic patterns. The pattern formation mechanism i
Extracellular levels of endogenous glutamate are relatively high in the developing rabbit retina but nonetheless appear to promote cell survival and developmental processes at concentrations considered toxic in the adult. We wished to examine the development of retinal susceptibility to glutamate to
