Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.
Loss of the TRPM1 ion channel in retinal ON bipolar cells disrupts communication with AII amacrine cells, causing anti-phase oscillations in retinal ganglion cells and structural remodeling of rod ...
Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...
Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Retinitis pigmentosa retinal degeneration is caused by a family of hereditary mutations in nearly 100 genes that slowly lead to blindness over years or decades. One of those genes ...
A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...
Rhythmic electrical activity in the retina (known as pathological oscillations) has been observed in several eye diseases, including congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinitis ...
