ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)had fasciculated dendrites and clumped cell bodies in Dscam(-/-) mice, suggesting a role in self-avoidance
	in Dscam deficient mice, retinal ganglion cells have defects in neuronal spacing and dendritic arborization patterns exhibiting neuronal self-avoidance phenotypes
