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 …

We know a good deal about the operation of the retina when either rod or cone
photoreceptors provide the dominant input (ie, under very dim or very bright conditions) …

In zebrafish, Müller glia (MG) are a source of retinal stem cells that can replenish damaged
retinal neurons and restore vision. In mammals, however, MG do not spontaneously re-enter …

Animals have a remarkable ability to track dynamic sensory information. For example, the
nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can locate a diacetyl odor source across a 100,000-fold …

The collective activity pattern of retinal ganglion cells, the retinal code, underlies higher
visual processing. How does the ambient illuminance of the visual scene influence this …

We have long known that rod and cone signals interact within the retina and can even
contribute to color vision, but the extent of these influences has remained unclear. New …

Vision begins in the retina, whose intricate neural circuits extract salient features of the
environment from the light entering our eyes. Neurodegenerative diseases of the retina (eg …

A fundamental question in sensory neuroscience is how parallel processing is implemented
at the level of molecular and circuit mechanisms. In the retina, it has been proposed that …

Image-and non-image-forming vision are essential for animal behavior. Here we use
genetically modified mouse lines to examine retinal circuits driving image-and non-image …

In the retina, rod and cone pathways mediate visual signals over a billion-fold range in
luminance. AII (" A-two") amacrine cells (ACs) receive signals from both pathways via …
