In this talk I will highlight the utility of theoretical models in understanding two keys steps in the development of the visual system. In the first part of the talk, I describe the structural development of the retina; in particular, how neurons arrange themselves into semi-regular spatial patterns. In the second part, I describe potential mechanisms by which cells in the retina might project to the brain in a topographic manner. Our hope is that these theoretical mechanisms can inform us about the development not just of the visual system, but of many parts of the nervous system.
