Nuclei-specific differences in nerve terminal distribution, morphology, and development in mouse visual thalamus

Conclusions:
Taken together, these results reveal nuclei-specific differences in nerve terminal composition, distribution, and morphology in mouse visual thalamus. These results raise intriguing questions about the different functions of these nuclei in processing light-derived information, as well as differences in the mechanisms that underlie their unique, nuclei-specific development.
