neurotransmitters in the vertebrate retina,“a genuine neural center”(Ramón y Cajal, 1964 …

Diabetes is known to cause significant alterations in the retinal vasculature. Indeed, diabetic
retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in those of working age. Considerable …

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy with characteristic optic disc changes and
associated visual field defects. 1 2 The pattern and progression of visual field loss due to …

The flash electroretinogram (ERG) represents a serial ensemble of neural responses that
can be used to objectively evaluate retinal function on a layer-by-layer basis. In this review …

In recent years significant progress has been made in the elucidation of the molecular
assembly of the postsynaptic density at synapses, whereas little is known as yet about the …

Immunocytochemical staining of vertical sections through rat, mouse, and macaque monkey
retinae with antibodies against the vesicular glutamate transporter vesicular glutamate …

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a leading cause of human blindness due to degeneration of
retinal photoreceptor cells. Causes of retinal degeneration include defects in the visual …

Presynaptic γ‐aminobutyrate‐immunoreactive (GABA+) profiles were mapped in the
cyprinid retina with overlay microscopy: a fusion of electron and optical imaging affording …

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) reflects a range of inherited retinal disorders which involve
photoreceptor degeneration and retinal pigmented epithelium dysfunction. Despite the …

The vertebrate retina is a “genuine neural center”(Ramón y Cajal), in which glutamate is a
