The mammalian retina is an important model system for studying neural circuitry: Its role in
sensation is clear, its cell types are relatively well defined, and its responses to natural …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) were one of the first classes of sensory neurons to be
described in terms of a receptive field (RF). Over the last six decades, our understanding of …

The fovea is a specialized region of the retina that dominates the visual perception of
primates by providing high chromatic and spatial acuity. While the foveal and peripheral …

In the mammalian retina, processes of approximately 70 types of interneurons form specific
synapses on roughly 30 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in a neuropil called the inner …

Myopia is the most common vision disorder and the leading cause of visual impairment
worldwide. However, gene variants identified to date explain less than 10% of the variance …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the spiking projection neurons of the eye that encode
different features of the visual environment. The circuits providing synaptic input to different …

Center-surround antagonism has been used as the canonical model to describe receptive
fields of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for decades. We describe a newly identified RGC type …

Local and global forms of inhibition controlling directionally selective ganglion cells
(DSGCs) in the mammalian retina are well documented. It is established that local inhibition …

Functional analyses exist only for a few of the morphologically described primate ganglion
cell types, and their correlates in other mammalian species remain elusive. Here, we …

Midget and parasol ganglion cells (GCs) represent the major output channels from the
primate eye to the brain. On-type midget and parasol GCs exhibit a higher background spike …
