Abstract:
Working with neuroreceptors synthesized in chick embryo retina before synapses appear, this article presents findings that dissociated retina cells have the ability to synthesize receptors and extend neurites from cell bodies. These cultured retina cells were extremely valuable to researchers, as in subsequent studies they were used as a model system for explaining the process of synapse formations.
