DOI: 10.1002/dneu.22550
Abstract: The compound eyes of adult stomatopod crustaceans have two to six ommatidial rows at the equator, called the midband, that are often specialized for color and polarization vision. Beneath the retina, this midband specialization is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.874362
Abstract: Cell segregation mechanisms play essential roles during the development of the central nervous system (CNS) to support its organization into distinct compartments. The Slit protein is a secreted signal, classically considered a paracrine repellent for… read more here.

Neural Organization of the Optic Lobe Changes Steadily from Late Embryonic Stage to Adulthood in Cuttlefish Sepia pharaonis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2017.00538
Abstract: The optic lobe is the largest structure in the cuttlefish brain. While the general morphology of the optic lobe in adult cuttlefish has been well described, the 3D structure and ontogenetic development of its neural… read more here.

The proneural wave in the Drosophila optic lobe is driven by an excitable reaction-diffusion mechanism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "eLife"
DOI: 10.7554/elife.40919
Abstract: In living organisms, self-organised waves of signalling activity propagate spatiotemporal information within tissues. During the development of the largest component of the visual processing centre of the Drosophila brain, a travelling wave of proneural gene… read more here.
