In the central nervous system (CNS), the inhibitory transmitter GABA interacts with three
subtypes of GABA receptors, type A, type B, and type C. Historically, GABA receptors have …

Warland, David K., Pamela Reinagel, and Markus Meister. Decoding visual information from
a population of retinal ganglion cells. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 2336–2350, 1997. This work …

The function of the retina is to transform the pattern of the visual world impinging on the
photoreceptors into patterns of neural activity at the ganglion cells. These patterns are then …

This work investigates how the light responses of salamander bipolar cells adapt to changes
in temporal contrast: changes in the depth of the temporal fluctuations in light intensity about …

The vertebrate retina contains ganglion cells that appear to be specialized for detecting
temporal changes. The characteristic response of these cells is a transient burst of action …

We present a novel model for the mammalian retina and analyze its behavior. Our outer
retina model performs bandpass spatiotemporal filtering. It is comprised of two reciprocally …

Prosthetic devices may someday be used to treat lesions of the central nervous system.
Similar to neural circuits, these prosthetic devices should adapt their properties over time …

We investigated the mechanisms underlying the modulation of transmitter release from
bipolar cells. Three currents, measured under whole-cell patch clamp in the tiger …

1. Cells in the ganglion cell layer of salamander retinal slices were voltage clamped using
patch pipettes. Light elicited transient excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in on‐off …
