The first synapse of the retina plays a fundamental role in the visual system. Due to its
importance, it is critical that it encodes information from the outside world with the greatest …

In this review, we summarize studies investigating the types and distribution of voltage-and
calcium-gated ion channels in the different classes of retinal neurons: rods, cones …

There are few neurochemical markers that reliably identify retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),
which are a heterogeneous population of cells that integrate and transmit the visual signal …

Connectomics has demonstrated that synaptic networks and their topologies are precise
and directly correlate with physiology and behavior. The next extension of connectomics is …

Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are a subtype of ganglion cell in
the mammalian retina that expresses the photopigment melanopsin and drives non‐image …

Gap junctions connect cells in the bodies of all multicellular organisms, forming either
homologous or heterologous (ie established between identical or different cell types …

Cell type–specific green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in the retina has been
achieved in an expanding repertoire of transgenic mouse lines, which are valuable tools for …

Vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) is required for active accumulation of adenosine tri-
phosphate (ATP) into vesicles for purinergic neurotransmission, however, the cell types that …

Controlling neurotransmitter release by modulating the presynaptic calcium level is a key
mechanism to ensure reliable signal transmission from one neuron to the next. In this study …

Gap junction coupling synchronizes activity among neurons in adult neural circuits, but its
role in coordinating activity during development is less known. The developing retina …
