Abstract: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is part of the immune system, which usually operates outside the blood-brain barrier. That's why the discovery of a possible role for class I MHC molecules in remodelling of nervous connections during development of the optic system is very surprising. Moreover, this discovery may have implications for the study of human conditions such as dyslexia.
