With the ever‐growing number of transgenic mice being used in vision research, a precise
knowledge of the cellular organization of the mouse retina is required. As with the cat, rabbit, …

Glutamate release from photoreceptor terminals is controlled by voltage-dependent calcium
channels (VDCCs). In humans, mutations in the Cacna1f gene, encoding the α1F subunit of …

Despite robust effects on immature neurons, growth factors minimally promote axon
regeneration in the adult central nervous system (CNS). Attempting to improve growth-factor …

Key points • Inhibitory feedback from horizontal cells to photoreceptors regulates synaptic
gain and contributes to centre–surround receptive field formation via mechanisms that are not …

Cajal recognized that the elaborate shape of neurons is fundamental to their function in the
brain. However, there are no simple and generalizable genetic methods to study neuronal or …

Horizontal cells mediate inhibitory feedforward and feedback lateral interactions in the outer
retina at photoreceptor terminals and bipolar cell dendrites; however, the mechanisms that …

How neurons in the eye feed signals back to photoreceptors to optimize sensitivity to patterns
of light appears to be mediated by one or more unconventional mechanisms. Via these …

The stream of visual information sent from photoreceptors to second-order bipolar cells is
intercepted by laterally interacting horizontal cells that generate feedback to optimize and …

Neuronal output is modulated by inhibition onto both dendrites and axons. It is unknown
whether inhibitory synapses at these two cellular compartments of an individual neuron are …

Feedback inhibition by horizontal cells regulates rod and cone photoreceptor calcium channels
that control their release of the neurotransmitter glutamate. This inhibition contributes to …
