Abstract:
In this report on Nirenberg's retina studies, the formation of synapses by cultured neurons that were dissociated from chick embryo retina is correlated with the synthesis of neuroreceptors found in earlier studies. Descriptions of the developmental sequence of events leading to synaptogenesis in vitro, along with the type and number of synapses, correspond well with processes in the intact retina.
