Endogenous spontaneous ultraweek photon emission in the formation of eye-specific retinogeniculate projections before birth

It has long been a puzzle how the intricate nerve connections between the eye and brain form so accurately before birth, without any visual input. This theoretical paper proposes a novel explanation for this phenomenon.…
