Two-photon calcium imaging of neuronal activity
In vivo two-photon calcium imaging (2PCI) is a technique used for recording neuronal
activity in the intact brain. It is based on the principle that, when neurons fire action …

Understanding the retinal basis of vision across species
The vertebrate retina first evolved some 500 million years ago in ancestral marine
chordates. Since then, the eyes of different species have been tuned to best support their …

The types of retinal ganglion cells: current status and implications for neuronal classification
JR Sanes, RH Masland - Annual review of neuroscience, 2015 - annualreviews.org
In the retina, photoreceptors pass visual information to interneurons, which process it and
pass it to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Axons of RGCs then travel through the optic nerve …
