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 …

Retinal circuits transform the pixel representation of photoreceptors into the feature
representations of ganglion cells, whose axons transmit these representations to the brain …

Comprehensive high-resolution structural maps are central to functional exploration and
understanding in biology. For the nervous system, in which high resolution and large spatial …

INTRODUCTION Fundamental circuit features of the mouse visual system emerge before
the onset of vision, allowing the mouse to perceive objects and detect visual motion …

How does the mammalian retina detect motion? This classic problem in visual neuroscience
has remained unsolved for 50 years. In search of clues, here we reconstruct Off-type …

The proper connectivity between neurons is essential for the implementation of the
algorithms used in neural computations, such as the detection of directed motion by the …

Vision is the sense humans rely on most to navigate the world, make decisions, and perform
complex tasks. Understanding how humans see thus represents one of the most …

The'one neuron, one neurotransmitter'doctrine states that synaptic communication between
two neurons occurs through the release of a single chemical transmitter. However, recent …

Motion-sensitive neurons have long been studied in both the mammalian retina and the
insect optic lobe, yet striking similarities have become obvious only recently. Detailed …

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 …
