Figure 5.

Retinal waves occur in three stages. Before birth in mice, waves are mediated by non-synaptic (NS) circuits. From around birth until 10 days after birth, waves are mediated by acetylcholine acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). From 10 days after birth until the end of the second week, waves are mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors. Modified from Bansal et al. 2000 (35).
