Strange bedfellows: Reelin and Notch signaling interact to regulate cell migration in the developing neocortex.

abstract：:The role of early visual experience in the establishment of human high-order visual areas is poorly understood. Here we investigated this issue using human amblyopia--a developmental visual disorder, which manifests a central vision (acuity) deficit. Previous fMRI studies of amblyopes have described abnormal functiona...
