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 …

Synapses in the outer retina are the first information relay points in vision. Here,
photoreceptors form synapses onto two types of interneurons, bipolar cells and horizontal …

Glutamatergic transmission is crucial to the segregation of ON and OFF pathways in the
develo** retina. The temporal sequence of maturation of vesicular glutamatergic …

ABSTRACT The Pde6brd10 (rd10) mouse has a moderate rate of photoreceptor
degeneration and serves as a valuable model for human autosomal recessive retinitis …

purpose. To investigate the influence of a develo** host environment on the survival,
differentiation, and morphologic integration of murine brain progenitor cells (mBPCs) …

The biogenesis of cilia-derived sensory organelles, the photoreceptor rod outer segments
(ROS), is mediated by rhodopsin transport carriers (RTCs). The small GTPase Rab8 …

purpose. Mutations in the retinoschisin gene, RS-1, cause juvenile X-linked retinoschisis
(XLRS), a dystrophy characterized by delamination of the inner retinal layers, leading to …

The primary receptor neurons of the auditory, vestibular, and visual systems encode a broad
range of sensory information by modulating the tonic release of the neurotransmitter …

Rod and cone photoreceptors possess ribbon synapses that assist in the transmission of
graded light responses to second-order bipolar and horizontal cells of the vertebrate retina …

Neural communication in the adult nervous system is mediated primarily through chemical
synapses, where action potentials elicit Ca2+ signals, which trigger vesicular fusion and …
