Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

This review is focused on purinergic neurotransmission, ie, ATP released from nerves as a
transmitter or cotransmitter to act as an extracellular signaling molecule on both pre-and …

Taking a step-by-step approach to modelling neurons and neural circuitry, this textbook
teaches students how to use computational techniques to understand the nervous system at …

A century ago, Cajal noted striking similarities between the neural circuits that underlie
vision in vertebrates and flies. Over the past few decades, structural and functional studies …

ATP is released in an activity-dependent manner from different cell types in the brain,
fulfilling different roles as a neurotransmitter, neuromodulator, in astrocyte-to-neuron …

To establish functional circuitry, retinal neurons occupy spatial domains by arborizing their
processes, which requires the self-avoidance of neurites from an individual cell, and by …

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world and remains a
major public health problem. To date, incomplete knowledge of this disease's …

Our understanding of the development of the retina and visual pathways has seen
enormous advances during the past 25years. New imaging technologies, coupled with …

More than half of the initially-formed neurons are deleted in certain brain regions during
normal development. This process, whereby cells are discretely removed without interfering …

The development of the nervous system requires complex series of cellular programming
and intercellular communication events that lead from the early neural induction to the …
