Neurovascular signaling: Irrigating the retina

Curr Biol. 2023 Nov 20;33(22):R1193-R1194. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.10.017.

Abstract

A new study shows that retinal ganglion cell neurons can optimize local oxygen and nutrient availability at a key developmental timepoint in a surprising manner: by generating a temporally restricted burst of dopamine that patterns their dedicated vasculature.
