Assessment of visual function in blind mice and monkeys with subretinally implanted nanowire arrays as artificial photoreceptors

R Yang, P Zhao, L Wang, C Feng, C Peng… - Nature Biomedical …, 2024 - nature.com
Retinal prostheses could restore image-forming vision in conditions of photoreceptor
degeneration. However, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity are often insufficient. Here we …

Cholinergic feedback to bipolar cells contributes to motion detection in the mouse retina

CB Hellmer, LM Hall, JM Bohl, ZJ Sharpe, RG Smith… - Cell reports, 2021 - cell.com
Retinal bipolar cells are second-order neurons that transmit basic features of the visual
scene to postsynaptic partners. However, their contribution to motion detection has not been …

A new role for excitation in the retinal direction‐selective circuit

L Ankri, S Riccitelli, M Rivlin‐Etzion - The Journal of Physiology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
A key feature of the receptive field of neurons in the visual system is their centre–surround
antagonism, whereby the centre and the surround exhibit responses of opposite polarity …

Temporal pattern recognition in retinal ganglion cells is mediated by dynamical inhibitory synapses

S Ebert, T Buffet, BS Sermet, O Marre… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
A fundamental task for the brain is to generate predictions of future sensory inputs, and
signal errors in these predictions. Many neurons have been shown to signal omitted stimuli …

Dynamical synapses in the retinal network

S Ebert - 2023 - inria.hal.science
The retina is the first stage of visual processing, compressing relevant visual information
before sending it to the brain. Thereby neural information transmission induces a delay with …
