adjectiveventroposterior (not comparable)
- not comparableanatomyventral and posterior
The expression of Sema3A in the posterior and ventroposterior regions of the tectum has been postulated to channel RGC axons into the tectum [40 ], and ectopic application of FGF2 or heparin sulfates culminates in mistargeting of RGC axons [41 ,42 ].
