therefore during the period before the eyes opened ( p7-p10 ) there was a considerable degree of modification and maturation in dendritic morphology in both classes of retinal ganglion cells . alpha- and beta-cells exhibited differing temporal patterns of dendritic growth , which argues against a 'passive-stretching ' hypothesis that explains dendritic field enlargement solely as an effect of retinal areal growth .
