With the multifocal technique, as developed by Erich Sutter and colleagues, scores of focal
electroretinogram (ERG) responses can be obtained in a matter of minutes. Although this …

We survey the evidence for L-glutamate's role as the primary excitatory neurotransmitter of
vertebrate retinas. The physiological and molecular properties of glutamate receptors in the …

purpose. To better understand the cellular contributions to the human multifocal ERG
(mfERG), rhesus monkey and human mfERGs were recorded using the same stimulus …

We tested the hypothesis that glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the CNS, is
also an excitatory neurotransmitter in the enteric nervous system (ENS). Glutamate …

Synaptic depression was studied using capacitance measurements in synaptic terminals of
retinal bipolar neurons. Single 250 msec depolarizations evoked saturating capacitance …

ganglion cells in the rabbit retina. J. Neurophysiol. 77: 675–689, 1997. In this report we …

Contributions to the multifocal electroretinogram (ERG) from the inner retina (ie ganglion
and amacrine cells) were identified by recording from monkeys before and after intravitreal …

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are extremely diverse in their subunit compositions.
To understand the functional consequences of this diversity, it is necessary to know the …

methods. The stimulus array consisted of 103 hexagons with a mean luminance of 100 cd/m
2 and a contrast of 50%. The mERG was recorded from 13 control subjects, 18 patients with …

The functional properties of spontaneous, glutamatergic EPSCs and non‐NMDA receptors
in AII amacrine cells were studied in whole cells and patches from slices of the rat retina …
