Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

The retina, like many other central nervous system structures, contains a huge diversity of
neuronal types. Mammalian retinas contain approximately 55 distinct cell types, each with a …

It is widely recognized that the neural basis of brain function can be fully understood only by
integrating many disciplines at many levels. Studies of synaptic organization are bringing …

This review summarizes our current knowledge of primate including human retina focusing
on bipolar, amacrine and ganglion cells and their connectivity. We have two main …

To understand a neural circuit requires knowledge of its connectivity. Here we report
measurements of functional connectivity between the input and ouput layers of the macaque …

Energy metabolism refers to the processes by which life transfers energy to do cellular work.
The retina's relatively large energy demands make it vulnerable to energy insufficiency. In …

The function of any neural circuit is governed by connectivity of neurons in the circuit and the
computations performed by the neurons. Recent research on retinal function has …

Sensory synapses of the visual and auditory systems must faithfully encode a wide dynamic
range of graded signals, and must be capable of sustained transmitter release over long …

Recent developments in imaging technologies now allow the documentation, qualitative and
quantitative evaluation of peripheral retinal lesions. As wide field retinal imaging, capturing …

The primate retina is an exciting focus in neuroscience, where recent data from molecular
genetics, adaptive optics, anatomy, and physiology, together with measures of human visual …
