Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

The mammalian retina consists of neurons of> 60 distinct types, each playing a specific role
in processing visual images. They are arranged in three main stages. The first decomposes …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

This review summarizes our current knowledge of primate including human retina focusing
on bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells and their connectivity. We have two main …

Neuroanatomic studies of the mammalian retina have the invaluable advantage that, as
difficulties arise in the functional classification of a structure, auxiliary information from …

Mammalian retinal degenerations initiated by gene defects in rods, cones or the retinal
pigmented epithelium (RPE) often trigger loss of the sensory retina, effectively leaving the …

Transgenic mice provide a new approach for studying the structure and function of the
mammalian retina. In the past, the cellular organization of the mammalian retina was …

Visual information is processed in the retina to a remarkable degree before it is transmitted
to higher visual centres. Several types of retinal ganglion cells (the output neurons of the …

We studied the receptive field organization and contrast sensitivity of ganglion cells located
within the central 80 (radius of 40) deg of the macaque retina. Ganglion cell activity was …

Highly correlated neural activity in the form of spontaneous waves of action potentials is
present in the developing retina weeks before vision. Optical imaging revealed that these …
