Synapses in the outer retina are the first information relay points in vision. Here,
photoreceptors form synapses onto two types of interneurons, bipolar cells and horizontal …

Migration is essential for the laminar stratification and connectivity of neurons in the central
nervous system. In the retina, photoreceptors (PRs) migrate to positions according to …

The cytomatrix at the active zone-associated structural protein (CAST) and its homologue,
named ELKS, being rich in glutamate (E), leucine (L), lysine (K), and serine (S), belong to a …

A key challenge in developmental neuroscience is identifying the local regulatory
mechanisms that control neurite and synaptic refinement over large brain volumes …

Treatments for reproductive disorders in women consist of hormone replacement therapy,
which have negative side effects that impact health, spurring the need to understand new …

Cone photoreceptors detect light and are responsible for color vision. These cells display a
distinct polarized morphology where nuclei are precisely aligned in the apical retina …

Vision depends on the light sensing neurons of the retina: rod and cone photoreceptors.
Neurons in the mammalian retina cannot regenerate, therefore, photoreceptor degeneration …

To investigate the molecular and cellular foundations of biological functions, achieving
nanoscale spatial resolution in biomolecular imaging is essential. Expansion microscopy …

Central to all animals is the ability to interpret relevant external stimuli and react
appropriately. For animals to be able to recognize and react appropriately to stimuli, neurons …

The development of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, requires
the coordination of numerous intricate processes. Due to its complexity, the brain can be a …
