Retinal circuit assembly Retinal circuit assembly Model for selective synapse formation and circuit assembly in the retina. Progressively narrowing the options available to developing neurons leads to specific connections among interneurons and retinal ganglion cells. Modified from (8).

Finalist: Arjun Krishnaswamy Finalist: Arjun Krishnaswamy Arjun Krishnaswamy received undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from McGill University. As a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, he has been using molecular, electrophysiological, and genetic approaches to learn how developing neurons in the mouse retina choose synaptic targets and establish wiring patterns important for retinal function. Dr. Krishna-swamy will continue this line of research at McGill University. www.sciencemag.org/content/354/6312/558.2 Arjun Krishnaswamy Science 2016;354:558 Copyright © 2016, American Association for the Advancement of Science
