Purpose.: Amacrine cells constitute a diverse, yet poorly characterized, cell population in the
inner retina. Here, the authors sought to characterize the morphology, molecular physiology …

Amacrine cells constitute a diverse class of interneurons that contribute to visual signal
processing in the inner retina, but surprisingly, little is known about the physiology of most …

Methods:: The morphological types of amacrine cells in the zebrafish retina were identified
using retinal slices and DiOlistic techniques. Using a gene gun, retinal slices were shot with …

Purpose:: Connexin 35 (Cx35) forms gap junctions between many neurons in the retina and
in the CNS. The degree of coupling mediated by these gap junctions is regulated by PKA …

Background The vertebrate retina is composed of five major types of neurons: three
excitatory (photoreceptors, bipolar cells and ganglion cells) and two inhibitory (horizontal …

Purpose: To investigate synaptic transmission and postsynaptic targets of vGluT3 amacrine
cells (GACs) in the mammalian retina. Methods: Optogenetic stimulation was applied to …

Amacrine interneurons play a critical role in the processing of visual signals within the retina.
They are highly diverse, representing 30 or more distinct subtypes. Little is known about how …

Purpose.: To describe how developing amacrine cells and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs)
differ in survival signaling and global gene expression. Methods.: Amacrine cells were …

Visual information processing is sculpted by a diverse group of inhibitory interneurons in the
retina called amacrine cells. Yet, for most of the> 60 amacrine cell types, molecular identities …

Mammalian retinas comprise a variety of interneurons, among which amacrine cells
represent the largest group, with more than 30 different cell types each exhibiting a rather …
