Retinal bipolar cells are the first'projection neurons' of the vertebrate visual system—all of
the information needed for vision is relayed by this intraretinal connection. Each of the at …

Mammalian retinal degenerations initiated by gene defects in rods, cones or the retinal
pigmented epithelium (RPE) often trigger loss of the sensory retina, effectively leaving the …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

Transgenic mice provide a new approach for studying the structure and function of the
mammalian retina. In the past, the cellular organization of the mammalian retina was …

We report a quantitative analysis of the different bipolar cell types of the mouse retina. They
were identified in wild-type mice by specific antibodies or in transgenic mouse lines by …

The retina extracts visual features for transmission to the brain. Different types of bipolar cell
split the photoreceptor input into parallel channels and provide the excitatory drive for …

The mammalian visual system analyses the world through a set of separate spatio-temporal
channels,. The organization of these channels begins in the retina,, where the precise …

We studied the morphology of bipolar cells in fixed vertical tissue sections (slices) of the
mouse retina by injecting the cells with Lucifer Yellow and Neurobiotin. Nine different cone …

An essential step in intricate visual processing is the segregation of visual signals into ON
and OFF pathways by retinal bipolar cells (BCs). Glutamate released from photoreceptors …

purpose. Early visual defects in degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
may arise from phased remodeling of the neural retina. The authors sought to explore the …
