Retinal bipolar cells are the first'projection neurons' of the vertebrate visual system—all of
the information needed for vision is relayed by this intraretinal connection. Each of the at …

One of the key elements concerning our understanding of the organization of the mouse
retina is the complete classification of the various types of bipolar cells. With the present …

Summary In the mammalian retina, 10–12 different cone bipolar cell (BC) types decompose
the photoreceptor signal into parallel channels [1–8], providing the basis for the functional …

The primary function of the retina is to detect light and to process visual images. Light is
absorbed by photoreceptors, and its energy is transduced into electrical signals in the form …

Bipolar cells (BCs) are critical relay neurons in the retina that are organized into parallel
signaling pathways. The three main signaling pathways in the mammalian retina are the rod …

In non-mammalian vertebrates, retinal bipolar cells show center-surround receptive field
organization. In mammals, recordings from bipolar cells are rare and have not revealed a …

Bipolar cells form parallel channels that carry visual signals from the outer to the inner retina.
Each type of bipolar cell is thought to carry a distinct visual message to select types of …

We report a quantitative analysis of the different bipolar cell types of the mouse retina. They
were identified in wild-type mice by specific antibodies or in transgenic mouse lines by …

We confirmed the classification of 15 morphological types of mouse bipolar cells by serial
section transmission electron microscopy and characterized each type by identifying …

We recorded light-evoked responses from rod and cone bipolar cells using patch-clamp
techniques in a slice preparation of the rat retina. Rod bipolar cells responded to light with a …
