Mean ± SEM of various structural parameters for WT contralateral and ipsilateral retinogeniculate arbors at different ages. Asterisks between columns and rows identify statistically significant difference between ages and genotypes:

*p < 0.05;

**p < 0.01;

***p < 0.001. For completion, all p values < 0.1 are reported.

^#p = 0.07;

^##p = 0.06.
