Uberon synonym : stratum opticum of retina; retina nerve fiber layer; layer of nerve fibers of retina; layer of nerve fibres of retina; stratum neurofibrarum (retina); optic fiber layer;

Uberon related term : optic fiber layers; optic fiber layer; neural retina nerve fibre layer;

Uberon broad term : nerve fiber layer;

Uberon Homology note : (...) an essentially similar sequence of events occurs during the embryonic development of the vertebrate eye. The eye initially develops as a single median evagination of the diencephalon that soon bifurcates to form the paired optic vesicles. As each optic vesicle grows towards the body surface, its proximal part narrows as the optic stalk, and its distal part invaginates to form a two-layered optic cup. (...) The outer layer of the optic cup becomes the pigment layer of the retina, whereas the inner layer differentiates into the photoreceptive cells and neuronal layers of the retina.[well established][VHOG];
